Measuring Chronic Stress in Broiler Chickens: Effects of Environmental Complexity and Stocking Density on Immunoglobulin-A Levels

SIMPLE SUMMARY: The objective of this study was to determine how environmental complexity and stocking density impacted immunoglobulin-A (IgA) concentrations in fast-growing broiler chickens. We found that birds housed in complex environments had increased plasma IgA concentrations, suggesting that...
