Table 1. Ingredients and calculated and analysed compositions of the basal diets.
Table 2. Effects of feed form and xylanase enzyme on relative visceral weight of heat-stressed broilers fed wheat-based diet (n = 5).
Figure 1. Tibia-breaking strength (breaking force divided by bone weight expressed as Newton per gram) by xylanase enzyme and feed form in heat-stressed broilers fed wheat-based diet. Values are mean ± SE (n= 5). Within the graph, bars with different letters (a–c) are significantly different (p < .05).

Table 4. Effects of feed form and xylanase enzyme on the serum enzymes activity of heat-stressed broilers fed wheat-based diet (n = 5).
Table 5. Effects of feed form and xylanase enzyme on plasma minerals concentration of heat-stressed broilers fed wheat-based diet (n = 5).
Table 6. Effects of feed form and xylanase enzyme on selected blood metabolites of heat-stressed broilers fed wheat-based diet (n = 5).
Figure 2. Creatine kinase (expressed as U/mg of protein) level of chicken breast muscle by xylanase enzyme and feed form in heat-stressed broilers fed wheat-based diet. Values are mean ± SE (n= 5). Within the graph, bars with different letters (a,b) are significantly different (p < .05).
Figure 3. Heat shock protein 70 mRNA (HSP70) expression of chicken breast muscle by xylanase enzyme and feed form in heat-stressed broilers fed wheat-based diet. Values are mean ± SE (n= 5). Within the graph, bars with different letters (a,b) are significantly different (p < .05).
