Pathophysiology of Heart Failure in Broiler Chickens: Structural, Biochemical, and Molecular Characteristics
TL;DR: Evidence explaining the pathogenesis of acute and chronic heart failure, in the context of the underlying molecular and biochemical changes in the cardiomyocytes, contractile apparatus, and extracellular matrix in the ventricular myocardium are critically evaluated and discussed.

Feeding high levels of lupine seeds to broiler chickens: plasma micronutrient status in the context of digesta viscosity and morphometric and ultrastructural changes in the gastrointestinal tract
TL;DR: The enlargement of the intestinal tract was consistent with physiological hyperplasia and not pathological remodeling and hypertrophy, and it is apparent that the bioavailability of these micronutrients from lupine diets is not compromised.

The aetiology of hypoxaemia in chickens selected for rapid growth.
TL;DR: Key factors associated with the development of hypoxaemia in fast-growing broilers include high demand for oxygen as evidenced by high oxygen ER; inadequate cardiac output to fulfill the higher oxygen demands, leading to severe depletion of O(2) in mixed venous blood; and elevated intrapulmonary shunt fraction and possibly dead space associated with specific pathological and anatomical characteristics within the lung.

TL;DR: It was concluded that dietary SBL up to 0.048% enhanced intestinal development by increasing villus:crypt, but might alter the structural integrity of lymphoid organs.
