Feed restriction could induce physiological stress in broiler chickens, leading to welfare issues. Prenatal stimulation could improve stress-coping mechanisms in poultry. The present study aimed to elucidate the effects of subjecting developing embryos to auditory stimulation on physiological stress response to feed restriction in broiler chickens at market age.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers are exploring how tillering in rice, which affects yield, is influenced by both genetics and environment, specifically testing the impact of elevated CO levels on seedlings.
  • Experiments showed that brief exposure to elevated CO (eCO priming) improved tillering, leading to larger mature plants and more grain filling.
  • A sustainable method was developed using fungal mycelium to produce eCO from waste, benefiting farmers by increasing grain yield and providing a by-product of valuable oyster mushrooms.
