Air velocity under heat stress affects heavy broiler live performance and breast meat yield without changing meat quality or welfare parameters
Published: January 7, 2020
Summary
Heavy broilers with high breast meat yield are more susceptible to heat stress. Under high relative humidity, indoor air velocity (AV) becomes critical to offer optimal environmental conditions for growth and health. Four experiments were conducted under southeastern summer conditions to evaluate the effects of AV treatments (High vs. Low) on live performance, cut-up yields, meat quality and welf...

Fully agreed with your research.
This has happened in the poultry industry since last 2 decades as Geneticists were selecting birds with maximum breast meat, without much considering health care. This has put tremendous pressure on the growing bird particularly on heart and lungs, causes severe health issues and less susceptible to heat/disease.
Thanks for posting...
