Abstract: As the experimental materials, chickens were treated with acute and chronic cold stress (12±1℃) in order to explore the effect of cold stress on antioxidative function. Through the detection of T-AOC, CAT activity, GSH-Px activity, SOD activity, MDA contents in hypothalamus and serum, it is demonstrated that cold stress could change antioxidative function, induce oxidative stress, increase the content of free radicals, and finally result in the body damage.

Key words: chicken; cold stress; hypothalamus; serum; antioxidative function
