Perinatal epigenetic temperature adaptation in avian species: Comparison of turkey and muscovy duck

摘要

1. Heat production (HP) and body core temperature (CT) where measured in 1- to 10-day old Muscovy ducklings and turkey chick, incubated during the last week before hatching at a lower (34.5 degreesC, LT-group) or at higher (38.5 degreesC, HT-group), than the normal temperature of 37.5 degreesC (control C-group).
