The growth of heart during the chick embryo development is accompanied by the increase in total protein content per weight unit of the organ and in the content of the actomyosin complex proteins calculated to the total heart protein. Changes in the rate of heart respiration during development are determined, mainly, by the mass of mitochondria. The growing heart at the early developmental stages is characterized by a very high rate of doubling of the mitochondrial protein mass.

Enhanced glycolysis and elevated lactic acid (LA) production are observed during sudden death syndrome (SDS) in broilers. However, the mechanism underlying LA-induced cardiomyocyte damage and heart failure in fast-growing broilers remains unclear. In this study, chicken embryo cardiomyocytes (CECs) were cultured and treated with LA to investigate LA-induced CEC injury and its mechanism, aiming to develop strategies to prevent LA-induced SDS in broilers.

Background: Early chick mortality (ECM) is one of the most important problems of the poultry industry that causes severe economic losses to the farmers. The chick mortality varies in different geographical locations and its etiological factor also varies.
Aim: The aim of the present work was to isolate and identify various etiological agents responsible for causing ECM in broilers, and study the overall occurrence and pathology of various disease conditions responsible for causing ECM in broilers.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of thyme powder (TP), garlic powder (GP), and their combination on broiler chickens, focusing on growth performance, blood health, and carcass quality.
- The experiment involved 264 broiler chicks divided into four groups receiving different dietary treatments, which showed that TP, GP, and their combination significantly improved feed intake, growth rates, and carcass characteristics compared to a control group.
- Notable improvements in immune function and oxidative stress markers were observed, particularly with the combination treatment, suggesting enhanced overall health and the potential of these natural additives as alternatives to antibiotics.

This study aimed to discover how using nano artichoke leaf extract Stabilized with zinc Nanoparticles (ZnO-Nano-ALPE) as an alternative to antibiotics and an antioxidant in broiler feed affected their growth, meat quality, and blood. In a completely randomized design experiment, 210 1-day-old chicks (Arbor Acres) were assigned to three trial groups. Each group was subdivided into seven replicates, each with ten unsexed chicks.

Cardiac development is a complex developmental process. The early cardiac straight tube is composed of an external myocardial layer and an internal endocardial lining. Soon after rightward looping, the embryonic heart becomes externally covered by a new epithelial lining, the embryonic epicardium.
