Abstract

1. Pulmonary hypertension, associated with mitochondrial function in the lung tissue of broilers, can occur at hypoxic high altitudes. The present research examined the impacts of O-2 supplementation at different embryonic stages on broiler organ development and antioxidant enzyme activities.
