Dear Poultry Owners: Please note the risk of damage to chickens with increasing temperature.
Due to the lack of compliance with the standards in the insulation of the halls as a place and nest for broiler breeding in some units of the provinces, there is a high possibility of casualties or reduced growth in these days when the weather is hot.
As we know, birds are less capable of dissipating body heat than cows and sheep because they do not have sweat glands. Therefore, they suffer from heat stress. which is very dangerous and deadly
Heat stress is the same condition in which the chicken cannot maintain the balance between the heat produced in the body and its excretion. It usually starts at a temperature above 25 degrees Celsius.
The burning sun heats the ceiling and walls, so the first advice is to adjust the speed of the air movement. Set the ventilation so that the hot air leaves the hall. Turn on the air conditioners. A fogger is essential.
In these hot days, dilute the rations (foods with higher digestibility and less fiber), i.e. increase oil, corn and reduce soy.
Pour amino acid into the water, due to the decrease in feed consumption, the poultry’s body receives less vitamins, so you should increase the level of vitamin supplements in the diet. Or pour soluble vitamins in the source water inside the hall.
If you use ready-made cereal
Add vitamin c and some baking soda to the water
If you have slaughter weight, reduce the density of the herd, use herbal extracts with a cool nature once in a thousand once a day.
with respect
