Thermal manipulation during embryogenesis has long-term effects on muscle and liver metabolism in fast-growing chickens.
Fast-growing chickens have a limited ability to tolerate high temperatures. Thermal manipulation during embryogenesis (TM) has previously been shown to lower chicken body temperature (Tb) at hatching and to improve thermotolerance until market age, possibly resulting from changes in metabolic regula...
