<div><font face="Arial Unicode MS">With the continued increases in
broilers production, the negative impact of environmental conditions
on birds has attracted increasing public awareness and concern. Heat
stress is one of the most important environmental stressors
challenging broiler production world-wide. The detrimental effects of
heat stress on broilers range from reduced growth to decreased quality
of broiler products. This review focuses on the available scientific
evidence for the impact of heat stress in broiler production, with
emphasis on performance, physiological and biochemical effects, muscle
oxidation, and meat quality.</font></div>
