Abstract

1. Cocks ere exposed to 1 or 2 h at 42°C; blood samples ere taken before and immediately after treatment and for a period of 20 h thereafter. 2. Heat caused a significant decrease in leucocyte counts, an increase in corticosterone concentration in plasma and an increase of ascorbic acid in plasma and in leucocytes. 3. These four measures can be used to indicate a stress response and the measurements can be done ithout harming the animal.
