Intermittent mild cold stimulation improves the immunity and cold resistance of spleens in broilers

ABSTRACT: In order to investigate the effect of intermittent mild cold stimulation (IMCS) on immune function of spleens and adaptability to cold stress in broilers, 400 healthy 1-day-old Ross-308 chickens were divided into 5 groups: CC (control) reared in normal thermal environment from 1 to 49 d; C...

Compared with Pre-ACS, the mRNA levels of HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 were upregulated in CS after ACS (P < 0.05). Except for HSP90 mRNA and HSP70 protein in CS6, and HSP90 protein in CS3, the levels of HSPs after ACS in all treatment groups were higher than those in CC (P < 0.05), and the highest HSPs levels after ACS were found in CS5. We concluded that IMCS could enhance immunity of spleens and adaptability to ACS in broilers, besides CS5 was the optimal program.Ge XueJingwen YinNing ZhaoYanhong LiuYajie FuRunxiang ZhangJun BaoJianhong LiElsevierarticlebroiler spleenimmune regulationcold adaptationheat shock proteinAnimal cultureSF1-1100ENPoultry Science, Vol 100, Iss 12, Pp 101492- (2021)
