“…It was shown that in ovo nutrition can help modern broiler chicks achieve their full genetic potential for growth by supporting the bird during the transition from an embryo to one able to consume feed independently (Das et al, 2021). Experiments have been performed with various nutrients being injected into the embryo amnion, several days before hatch (Akosile et al, 2023;Dai et al, 2020;Gupta et al, 2022;Ncho et al, 2021a;Salmanzadeh et al, 2016). The results showed that this operation improved broiler production efficiency by increasing hatchling weight, hatchability, and reducing the period required to reach the targeted market weight.…”

In ovo feeding has been introduced as a cost‐effective method to improve hatchability and broiler performance. Specifically, several studies have focused on the impact of vitamins. However, due to variations in experimental conditions across all trials, drawing general conclusions appears challenging. Therefore, we conducted a meta‐analysis of 17 published papers, including a maximum of 134 sample size to evaluate the potential effects of in ovo feeding of vitamins in broilers. Studies were retrieved by consulting scientific repositories such as Pubmed, Scopus, Scielo, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. A binary logistic model was used to determine the parameters influencing hatchability. To assess variations in hatchling weight and growth parameters based on the vitamin category, a mixed model analysis of variance was performed, considering the study as a random effect and the vitamin category as a fixed effect. Finally, a linear mixed model was used to develop equations that explain the evolution of growth parameters based on vitamin concentration, volume, and day of injection. The results revealed that for better hatchability, it is preferable to consider heavier eggs (p = 0.007), lower volumes (p = 0.039), and late injection (p = 0.022). Vitamin E was associated with higher hatchling weight (p = 0.037), while vitamin C exhibited the lowest overall feed conversion ratio (p = 0.042). Interactions were observed between the day of injection and vitamin concentration or volume of injection for all studied growth parameters. In summary, the findings of this study suggest that hatchability during in ovo feeding is influenced by technique‐related parameters, whereas growth parameters can be modulated by the category of vitamin injected. Consequently, this study lays the groundwork for future investigations assessing the effects of in ovo feeding in broilers, as it highlights the relationship between the methodology and potential outcomes.

“…Poultry species, including broilers, are highly sensitive to heat stress, which occurs when the environmental temperature exceeds their thermoneutral zone (Akosile, Sogunle et al., 2023; Akosile, Kehinde et al., 2023; Kpomasse et al., 2021; Kpomasse, kouame et al., 2023; Pawar et al., 2016). Heat stress negatively affects livestock growth, feed intake, nutrient utilization and immune functions (Abbas et al., 2022; Kpomasse, Oso et al., 2023; Yahav, 2004).…”

Climate change has emerged as a significant occurrence that adversely affects broiler production, especially in tropical climates. Broiler chickens, bred for rapid growth and high meat production, rely heavily on optimal environmental conditions to achieve their genetic potential. However, climate change disrupts these conditions and poses numerous challenges for broiler production. One of the primary impacts of climate change on broiler production is the decreased ability of birds to attain their genetic potential for faster growth. Broilers are bred to possess specific genetic traits that enable them to grow rapidly and efficiently convert feed into meat. However, in tropical climates affected by climate change, the consequent rise in daily temperatures, increased humidity and altered precipitation patterns create an unfavourable environment for broilers. These conditions impede their growth and development, preventing them from reaching their maximum genetic influence, which is crucial for achieving desirable production outcomes. Furthermore, climate change exacerbates the existing challenges faced by broiler production systems. Higher feed costs impact the industry's economic viability and limit the availability of quality nutrition for the birds, further hampering their growth potential. In addition to feed scarcity, climate change also predisposes broiler chickens to thermal stress. This review collates existing information on climate change and its impact on broiler production, including nutrition, immune function, health and disease susceptibility. It also summarizes the challenges of broiler production under hot and humid climate conditions with different approaches to ameliorating the effects of harsh climatic conditions in poultry.

“…The concentrations of uric acid in the blood, lactate dehydrogenase and MDA decreased. Moreover, the findings of Akosile et al (2022), who evaluated the effect of in ovo feeding of cinnamon extract at different levels, indicated that the hatchability of broiler chicks from eggs injected with 4 mg cinnamon extract during incubation was enhanced. Similarly, Khan et al (2022) found that liver function, antioxidant status, growth performance and meat quality were favourably impacted by dietary cinnamon in broiler chickens.…”

The increase in global temperature and consumers' welfare has increased the use of phytogenic feed additives (PFA) to mitigate the negative effects of heat stress on chickens in recent years. Various bioactive compounds capable of improving the thermotolerance of broiler chickens during exposure to thermal challenges have been identified in different plant species and parts. This review is an overview of the roles of bioactive compounds of different PFA, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, antioxidants, growth‐promoting and immune‐modulating agents, in heat stress management in broiler chickens. Common PFA in use, particularly in tropical environments, are also discussed. An understanding of the roles of the PFA in chickens' thermotolerance could further stimulate interest in their use, thereby improving the birds' productivity and addressing consumers' concerns. This review collates the existing data on the roles of herbs in mitigating heat stress on chickens and highlights future research perspectives.
