ABSTRACT



In the poultry breeding, the negative side of selection aimed at gaining higher and higher body mass growths is the increase of birds sensitivity to the stressors action. In consequence, it leads to losses resulting from the infringement of balance, particularly in the range of co-operation between the endocrine and the immunological systems.

Key words: stress, turkeys, transport, immobilisation, leukocytes, propranolol.
