“…THI is an index of heat stress that is used to assess the combined impacts of both ambient temperature and RH [37]. The overall THI of 31.24 o C obtained in the present study is above 30.10 o C, reported by S u m a n u et al [33]. The broiler chicks' thermal microenvironment may be uncomfortable…”

This study evaluates the effects of lycopene administration on body weight, mortality, cloacal temperature, and haematological responses, in broiler chickens exposed to heat stress. 40 day-old broiler chicks were divided into control and lycopene groups, 20 chickens each. Each bird in the control group received olive oil (1 ml.kg−1), and lycopene at 10 mg.kg−1 mixed with olive oil was given to each bird in the lycopene group by oral gavage once daily for 28 days. The dry- and wet-bulb temperature of the broiler chickens’ pen was recorded three times daily from days 8 to 28. The body weights were measured weekly. The incidence of mortality was recorded. The cloacal temperatures were measured on days 14, 21 and 28. The blood samples were collected for haematological analyses, on day 28. The results indicated a high overall temperature-humidity index (31.24 ± 0.43 oC) of the thermal micro-environment of the broiler chickens. There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in body weight. The percentage mortality in the control group was relatively higher compared to the lycopene group. Lycopene reduced the cloacal temperature responses and the daily fluctuations in broiler chickens. The decreased (P < 0.05) heterophil:lymphocyte ratio and percentage erythrocytes haemolysis were recorded in the lycopene group. In conclusion, lycopene administration reduced mortality and improved cloacal temperature and haematological responses without exerting any significant beneficial or negative effects on the body weight in broiler chickens exposed to heat stress.

“…This might subsequently lead to low immunity, decrease performance, suppression, high morbidity, and death; hence, antioxidants, such as fisetin and probiotic could be helpful during the season when administered adequately. Oxidative stress is a resultant of heat stress which consequently, enhances reactive oxygen species (ROS) production (Ogbuagu et al, 2018;Shakeri et al, 2020;Sumanu et al, 2019), therefore, the findings of this study serves as the basis for modulating the detrimental effects of heat stress in animals via fisetin and/or probiotic administration.…”

There is dearth information on the role of fisetin as an antistress agent in ameliorating heat stress in broiler chickens. Here, we experimentally compared probiotic, an antioxidant and antistress agent, with fisetin, an antioxidant agent with little or no report on its antistress effect. Sixty-day-old broiler chickens (Arbo Acre breed) were allotted into 4 groups of 15 birds each as follows; control, fisetin, probiotic, and fisetin + probiotic groups, respectively. All administrations were performed orally through gavage for the treatment groups. The environmental and cloacal temperature (CT) parameters were measured bi-hourly at Days 21, 28, and 35 from 7:00 to 7:00 hr, during the period of study. The environmental parameters exceeded the thermoneutral zone for broiler chickens. The probiotic-supplemented group had the least overall mean CT values all through the experimental period. Based on our findings, fisetin was not a potent antistress agent in mitigating heat stress in birds.

“…Nowadays, the production of chicken meat in the tropics, sub-tropics, and temperate regions is now reliant on keeping heavy chicken breeds, which are sold as live birds, or as fresh or frozen meat (Mohammed et al 2018;Sumanu et al 2019Sumanu et al , 2021a. Chicken meat is accepted universally with no cultural or religious prohibitions attached to its consumption.…”

“…The broiler production cycles are reliant on the purchase of day old chicks from hatcheries, which are from breeder farms; commercial farming systems rear them in their thousands in deep litter houses. The rearing of the chickens for about 5 weeks is dependent on the provision of feed, water, and optimum environmental conditions (Gatrell et al 2018;Sumanu et al 2019). At week five, broiler chickens attain a reasonable market weight of 2 kg on average and are marketed; and the cycle repeats for about 8 to 10 times annually in the tropics.…”

Adverse effects of heat stress during summer on broiler chickens production and antioxidant mitigating effects

et al. 2022

Broiler chicken meat is a good source of protein consumed universally, and is one of the most commonly farmed species in world. In addition to providing food, poultry non-edible byproducts also have value. A major advantage of broiler chicken production is their short production cycle, which results in a greater rate of production in comparison to other species. However, as with any production system, there are constraints in broiler production with one of the most pressing being energy requirements to keep the birds warm as chicks and cool later in the growth cycle, as a result of the cost needing mechanical heating and cooling. While this is feasible in more advanced economies, this is not readily affordable in developing economies. As a result, farmers rely on natural ventilation to cool the rearing houses, which generally becoming excessively warm with the resultant heat stress on the birds. Since little can be done without resorting to mechanical ventilation and cooling, exploring the use of other means to reduce heat stress is needed. For this review, we cover the various factors that induce heat stress, the physiological and behavioral responses of broiler chickens to heat stress. We also look at mitigating the adverse effect of heat stress through the use of antioxidants which possess either an anti-stress and/or antioxidant effects.
