Effects of histamine application and water-immersion stress on gizzard erosion and

Three groups of Hybro broiler chickens, of which one group were controls, a second treated intragastrically with histamine, and a third stressed by immersion in water, were used in experiment. Stress induced severe gizzard erosion and decreased body weight, especially in male birds, whilst both stresses and histamine-treated groups of chicks had decrease antibody titres that were especially prounounced in the stressed animals. Feed consumption and aspartate aminotransferase and creatine kinase activities were increased in the stressed chicks.
