1. 1. Thermal comfort in young broiler chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) inferred from metabolic expenses.

   Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Biologi; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

   Nyckelord :Oxygen consumption; Thermoneutral zone; Young broiler chickens; Random ambient temperatures; msVO2.;

   Sammanfattning : The thermoneutral zone (TNZ) curve lies between the ambient temperatures (Ta) where an endothermic animal uses the least amount of energy to maintain a balance between the heat production from the animal’s own metabolism and the heat lost to the environment. If the animal is exposed to Ta’s over the upper critical temperature (UCT), which is the highest temperature that is still in the TNZ, the animals have to use energy to cool down. LÄS MER

3. 2. Broiler production in Zambia - management, growth, diseases and welfare

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

   Författare :Cecilia Andersson; [2014]
   Nyckelord :Broiler production; Broiler chickens; Zambia; Light; Welfare; Bird diseases; Management; Growth; Sweden; Hot climates; Chicken feed;

   Sammanfattning : Successful broiler production in hot climates requires knowledge of how birds are affected by heat stress. It is important with access to water and good ventilation to facilitate coping with the heat. LÄS MER
