Research Abstract	The objective of this study was to clarify effects of electrolyzed-reduced water and electrolyzed-H2 water on broiler chickens exposed to chronic heat stress. Chickens were provided with ad libitum access to 1)dechlorinated water (no H2, pH7. 3), 2)electrolyzed-reduced water (mid H2, pH10.2), or 3)electrolyzed-H2 water (high H2, pH8. 5)for 6 d after 16 d of age. Thereafter, they were exposed to a constant 32℃ for another 6 d, subjecting to the same treatments regarding drinking water. Chronic heat stress lowered growth performance, duodenal villus height, and ratio of the height to crypt depth and enhanced lipid peroxidation in skeletal muscle and liver of broiler chickens. However, changes in these parameters were improved by both of electrolyzed water.
