Key Points

This study evaluates the impact of the naked neck gene on broiler performance under heat stress conditions.
Backcrossing to establish experimental stock;
Comparison of growth, body traits, biochemical parameters, and carcass traits among genotypes;
Assessment focused on three genotypes: normally feathered, heterozygous, and homozygous naked neck.
Naked neck broilers had significantly lower body temperature and better heat dissipation;
They also showed higher body weight and improved feed conversion ratio versus normally feathered broilers;
Naked neck variants exhibited greater giblet yield and lower feather mass compared to normal broilers.
