Prehatch thermal manipulation of embryos and posthatch baicalein supplementation increased liver metabolism, and muscle proliferation in broiler chickens.

ABSTRACT: The exposure of broiler chickens to high ambient temperatures causes heat stress (HS), negatively affecting their health and production performance. To mitigate heat stress in broilers, various strategies, including dietary, managerial, and genetic interventions, have been extensively tested with varying degrees of efficacy. For sustainable broiler production, it is imperative to develop an innovative approach that effectively mitigates the adverse effects of HS. Our previous studies have provided valuable insights into the effects of prehatch embryonic thermal manipulation (TM) and posthatch baicalein supplementation on embryonic thermotolerance, metabolism, and posthatch growth performance. This follow-up study investigated the effect of these interventions on gluconeogenesis and lipid m
