Abstract

Nowadays, genetic selection for increasing growth rate, meat production, and feed conversion ratio in broiler chicken has caused some metabolic disorders, which is one of the most important challenges of the poultry industry in most countries. The metabolic disorder causes a lot of economic losses to the poultry industry around the world annually. On the other hand, demands for animal protein have been increased along with the increasing human population. Broiler chickens have been selected as a healthy source of fast-growing protein for this purpose. Therefore, according to the breeding strategies, broiler strains have been exposed to a series of genetic selection programs to improve meat-related traits economically. In fact, Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) is a side effect of breeding strategies that has become one of the most common cardiac metabolic disorders in high-growth broilers. To date, little information is available on the pathogenicity of this metabolic disorder. However, recent studies have been conducted to help to identify the genetic and environmental factors affecting this metabolic disorder and provide suggestions for prevention. As a result, the economic losses caused by it can be reduced to a minimum. Thus, this study aimed to introduce Sudden Death Syndrome, causes, and symptoms and also made suggestions to prevent this metabolic disorder for reducing economic losses.
