dc.description.abstractThe effect of heat stress on the ascorbic acid level and glucose content of the blood of chickens were studied. Under the experimental conditions and temperature range of the study, there was no appreciable change in both the ascorbic acid level and glucose content of the blood of cockerels. This observation was discussed on the basis of the ability of the birds to synthesize their own ascorbic acid to replace the excess used, or that the thermal factor under the given experimental conditions, has no effect at all. A kinetics method which is still in its infancy was also employed to determine the ascorbic acid level of the blood of the chickens. There is need for further investigations on this.en_US
