Effects of cyclic heat stress on the phenotypic response, meat quality and muscle glycolysis of breasts and thighs of yellow-feather broilers

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of cyclic heat stress on phenotypic response, meat quality and muscle glycolysis of broiler. One hundred and eighty 35-day-old male Xueshan broilers with similar BW were randomly selected and exposed to either thermal neutral (TN; 23 °C, 55–60% RH,...
