Experimental Cyclic Heat Stress on Intestinal Permeability, Bone Mineralization, Leukocyte Proportions and Meat Quality in Broiler Chickens

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Recently, our laboratory published a heat stress model to induce gastrointestinal leakage in broiler chickens. Nevertheless, the model describes continuous heat stress (HS) conditions from day 21 until 42 days of age. The current brief report intends to present an alternative model (...

description SIMPLE SUMMARY: Recently, our laboratory published a heat stress model to induce gastrointestinal leakage in broiler chickens. Nevertheless, the model describes continuous heat stress (HS) conditions from day 21 until 42 days of age. The current brief report intends to present an alternative model (12 h/day), particularly more in accordance with real-world conditions, to evaluate nutraceuticals or products that can reduce the severity of HS under experimental conditions. Results of this study confirm what has been extensively reported by numerous scientists. Cyclic HS increased leaky gut, reduced performance, bone mineralization, and meat quality in broiler chickens. ABSTRACT: The goal of this research was to assess cyclic heat stress on gut permeability, bone mineralization, and meat quality in chickens. Two separate trials were directed. 320 day-of-hatch Cobb 500 male chicks were randomly assigned to four thermoneutral (TN) and four cyclic heat stress (HS) chambers with two pens each, providing eight replicates per treatment in each trial (n = 20 chicks/replicate). Environmental conditions in the TN group were established to simulate commercial production settings. Heat stress chickens were exposed to cyclic HS at 35 °C for 12 h/day from days 7–42. Performance parameters, intestinal permeability, bone parameters, meat quality, and leukocyte proportions were estimated. There was a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in body weight (BW), BW gain, and feed intake, but the feed conversion ratio increased in chickens under cyclic HS. Moreover, HS chickens had a significantly higher gut permeability, monocyte and basophil levels, but less bone mineralization than TN chickens. Nevertheless, the TN group had significant increases in breast yield, woody breast, and white striping in breast fillets compared to HS. These results present an alternative model to our previously published continuous HS model to better reflect commercial conditions to evaluate commercially available nutraceuticals or products with claims of reducing the severity of heat stress.
