Summary
1. Developmental stability of bilaterally symmetrical traits was measured in two fast (G1 and G2) and one slower growing (G3) br oiler stocks when conditioned (chicks exposed to 36 degreesC for 24 h at 5 d of age) or food restricted (food withdrawn 2 h before the hot period and chicks fed between 17.00 and 08.00 h) during heat stress administered daily from 28 to 49 d of` age.
