Abstract: Cold stress can cause performance descends,induce various diseases,even result in death in poultries. Studying the poultry cold stress mechanism and investigating scientific stress monitor method,which focus on the body biochemical indicator in cold stress reaction,have important meaning to elevate preventative level of stress and ensure livestock farming development. The gene expression mechanisms of cold resistance in animals including the functional mechanism of antifreeze proteins (AFP),heat shock protein(HSP70),c-fos and iNOS genes are summarized in this paper.

Key words: cold stress; gene; regulation
