The objective was to evaluate diets with different levels of CP and fat, and their effect on feathering and hematological and biochemical parameters of broilers submitted to cyclic heat stress (HS) since 21 d of age or in thermoneutral environment (TN). A factorial 2 x 2 + 2 was used, with two environments-TN (21-25ºC and RH 73%) and HS (25-32ºC and RH 65%), and two diets (D) – control (2.4% fat and 19.5%CP) and summer (SD) (4.0% fat and 18.5% […]

The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance and the variability between parental lines of broiler chicken reared in different environments, considering the genotype and environment interaction. Performance and morphometric traits of parental lines of commercial broiler chicken reared up to the age of 42 days in a complete-controlled environment of a breeding farm, in usual conditions of broiler chicken production system and in stress environment conditions were evaluated. Indexes of thermal comfort (temperature and humidity and enthalpy) […]
