Water-spraying forced ventilation during holding improves the water holding capacity, impedance, and microstructure of breast meat from summer-transported broiler chickens

Heat stress is a broiler welfare issue and economic deficit to the broiler industry. Water atomizing with three-dimensional forced ventilation, a holding treatment after summer transport for broiler, has been proved to significantly improve water holding capacity of fresh meat. However, effectivenes...
