Description: Stress proteins offer a measure of stress in birds at the cellular level that are an
alternative to the glucocorticoids. Stress proteins are not biased by handling stress, the

and, therefore, they may be a more appropriate measure of long-term or chronic stress.
However, caution should be practiced when… more
