Embryonic Thermal Manipulation Affects Body Performance Parameters and Cecum Microbiome in Broiler Chickens in Response to Post-Hatch Chronic Heat Stress Challenge

Embryonic Thermal Manipulation Affects Body Performance Parameters and Cecum Microbiome in Broiler Chickens in Response to Post-Hatch Chronic Heat Stress Challenge

Rising global temperatures challenge poultry production by disrupting the cecal microbiota, which is essential for chicken health. Thermal manipulation (TM) during embryogenesis is a potential strategy to enhance thermotolerance in broilers. This study examined TM’s effects on the cecal microbiome,...
