Animal Nutritional Physiology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates heat stress in chickens through amino acids and neuropeptides.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how heat affects chickens through amino acids and neuropeptides.
The Animal Nutritional Physiology Lab studies heat stress in chickens, a major threat to the poultry industry.
The lab has identified physiological and metabolic indicators related to heat stress, and has found amino acids that play a role in body temperature regulation, including L-citrulline, L-leucine, and taurine.
In addition to amino acids, the lab also focuses on neuropeptide Y and related peptides, which regulate stress and immune function.
Key terms
- Heat stress
- The physiological burden placed on an animal's body by exposure to high temperatures.
- L-citrulline
- A type of amino acid. In chicks, oral administration lowered body temperature and made them more tolerant of heat.
- Neuropeptide
- A small molecule made of linked amino acids and released from nerves. Neuropeptide Y is one example.

*Illustrative imageAmino acids and heat stress
The lab investigates amino acids that play a role in body temperature regulation under heat stress in chickens. Amino acids including L-citrulline, L-leucine, and taurine have been identified.
*Illustrative imageFunctions of neuropeptides
The lab focuses on neuropeptide Y and related peptides, which regulate stress and immune function. It investigates how neuropeptides function in feeding and body temperature regulation in birds.
