Genetic selection for high-yield broilers has led to a disproportionate increase in body mass relative to body surface area, which has resulted in reduced heat dissipation and higher basal body temperatures.enPlaas MediaPoultry industryBroilersHeat dissipationBody massNatural and agricultural sciences articles SDG-02Natural and agricultural sciences articles SDG-12Natural and agricultural sciences articles SDG-13Article
