Vitagenes in avian biology and poultry health

Avian Vitagenes & Poultry Health

Vitagenes in Avian Biology and Poultry Health explores the role of redox-sensitive vitagenes in stress adaptation, cellular protection, and health in birds and commercial poultry. It covers heat shock proteins, superoxide dismutases, glutathione and thioredoxin systems, sirtuins, antioxidant defenses, and nutritional modulation of vitagenes. The book also discusses practical applications in poultry production, including stress management, gut health, immunity, and nutritional strategies.
