This experiment aimed to evaluate the effect of environmental temperature upon the morphometric characteristics of the fiber types in the flexor hallucis longus muscle of broilers in pair-feeding, thus isolating the effect of voluntary feed intake. Sixteen male broiler, Ross, were allotted to a completely randomized design with two treatments (heat stress and cold stress), and seven and nine replications, respectively. Forty-three-day-old heat stressed broilers weighed 1.255 g and those in cold stress, pair-fed, weighed 1.086 g. The birds subjected […]
