Abstract
The brain-gut-axis has been studied as a modulating factor of immune and behavioral responses throughout the course of infectious diseases. To analyze these relationships, 25 broilers were divided into 5 groups: naive group (N), thioglycolate group (T), thioglycolate heat stressed group (T/HS35), infected group (I) and infected heat stressed group (I/HS35). The broilers of I and I/HS35 groups were infected with Clostridium perfringens from the ±15th to the 19th day of life. Heat Stress (35 ± 1 °C) was constantly applied to the stressed groups from the ±14th to the 19th day of life. Heat stress induced an increase in the behavioral scores of the chickens of the T/HS35 and I/HS35 groups in comparison to animals of the N and T-groups (p
