Effect of early heat exposure and feeding system on physiological response and productive performance of duckling under heat stress conditions.
Abstract: These experiments were to designed determine the possibility of improving the productive performance of ducks reared under hot ambient temperature by using heat acclimated at early age and by fasting
The obtained results were as follows, early heat exposure caused hyperactivation in the expression of HSPs than heated birds.
Rectal temperature and respiration rate were higher in heat stressed ducks than acclimated group, heat stress caused a reduction in plasma protein , albumin than acclimated group , the control group exhibited higher T3 level followed by in heat stressed also, early acclimation cause improving the productive performance.
