Abstract

When measuring the body temperature of the turkeys before beginning the study determined that the average temperature for the experimental group was 41,00C. After 2 hours the effects of heat stress there was a statistically significant increase of body temperature of the bird by 0.50C. In the study of the body temperature of the turkey after 6 hours of exposure to heat stress, body temperature turkeys returned to normal, and after 26 hours was decreased by 0.50C (P< 0.01) and was maintained at this level until the end of the research. The heat loss from the body poultry occurred mainly by evaporation.
