Abstract
In addition to reduction in performance, immune functions are reduced in chickens under stress. These birds are more likely to be vulnerable to diseases compared with those raised under better environmental conditions and thus to require medication more frequently to cope with the diseases. In this review, two of the stress markers frequently used in chickens are exemplified first, followed by relationship between stress and immune functions, and the effects of stress on performance and immune functions.
