ABSTRACT In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of Moringa oleifera essential oil (MOEO) supplementation to rations of Japanese quail ( Coturnix coturnix japonica ) grown under heat stress (HS) on some adipokine (visfatin, adiponectin, and chemerin), intestinal (citrulline), 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and thyroid-stimulation hormone (TSH) levels in the serum. For this purpose, 320 day-old male quail chicks were used. The study was conducted over 42 days, including a 7-d adaptation period and a 35-d experimental period. […]

The variation of cortisol and thyroid hormones in Corriedale sheep bred in a tropical environment was evaluated. Fourteen males and seven females were observed in a climatic chamber at 45ºC for nine days, eight hours per day. Rectal temperature (TR), respiratory rate (FR), air temperature (TA) and air humidity (PV) were recorded. The animals were ranked according to their responses for TR and FR and then the five highest (A group) and five lowest (NA group) ranked animals were selected. […]
