Abstract:

Highlights•Norepinephrine and epinephrine play critical roles in the behavior of chickens.•Catecholamines help regulating physiological and behavioral homeostasis in response to stressful stimuli.•Adrenergic mediation of consumption behaviors has both production and welfare implications.•Norepinephrine and epinephrine play a vital role in regulating the brain-gut-microbiome axis.
