• Abstract

  This study has two objectives. The first is to evaluate the anxiety of rabbits exposed to environmental and social enrichment. The second is to assess brain morphology from a sample from a sample of these animals. Fifty-six weaned male rabbits from the Botucatu genetic group weaned at 35 days will be used up to 77 days of age. The animals will be assigned to a completely randomized design…

• Abstract

  Heat stress is a major problem for the poultry industry; it affects broiler performance decreasing growth rate, increasing mortality, and causing significant changes in meat quality attributes. Thus, we aim to study the effects of heat stress on the chickens' physiological state using the technology of total RNA next generation sequencing (RNA-Seq). This technology will allow the identifi…

• Abstract

  The objective is to submit broiler chickens to heat stress from 28 to 42 days of age, in order to induce measurable changes in physiological responses and performance, and to investigate their effects on meat sensory properties and gene expression in the breast skeletal muscle. Additionally, we intend to investigate if diet supplementation with an antioxidant is capable of reducing, or ne…

• Abstract

  The objective is to evaluate the anxiety of the animals against two types of enrichment: environmental and  social. Also assess brain morphology of a sample of these animals with and without enrichment. Will be used 56 male rabbits weaned until reaching 77 days. The animals will be distributed in a completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement of 2 x 2 (with or without environ…
