This study was done to evaluate the effects of heat stress (HS) on production performance,
redox status, small intestinal barrier-related parameters, cecal microbiota, and metabolome …

Background High environmental temperatures induce heat stress in broiler chickens,
affecting their health and production performance. Several dietary, managerial, and genetics …

In the perspective of the global climate change leading to increasing temperature, heat
stress (HS) has become a severe issue in broiler production, including the indigenous …

Broiler chickens have been genetically selected for higher feed efficiency, faster growth and
greater muscle yields to fulfil the global meat demand. These fast-growing broiler chickens …

Simple Summary Heat stress (HS) is a major challenge in poultry production as it alters
basic metabolism and slows growth. The reduction in feed intake (FI), induced by heat stress …

Global warming has become an urgent issue, and heat-stress protective materials should be
developed to manage human life and animal husbandry. Here, thermoprotective effects of …

Organic sources of trace minerals (TM) in broiler diets are more bioavailable and stable than
inorganic sources, making them particularly beneficial during challenging periods such as …

Simple Summary High ambient temperature exposure-induced heat stress is one of the
major problems in subtropical regions, severely affecting poultry health and production. This …

Deficiency of selenium (Se), an important trace element, causes diarrhea and even death in
broilers, thereby affecting the economic development of poultry production. Adding Se is one …

Lipoic acid (LA) reduces oxidative stress and stimulates the immune system. However, data
on its use in ruminants is limited. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of …
