Heat stress (HS) can trigger immune dysfunction in poultry. The reduction in feed intakes during HS promotes the decreasing of immune organs weights, thus reducing the immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, and IgM) in the blood. HS can inhibit the phagocytic activity and suppressing the biosynthesis of B and T lymphocytes.
