Heat Stroke in Poultry (Guide to poultry management in heat stress)


Managing Poultry in hot weather conditions is not a easy job. Hot weather is of two types. 

1.One when temperature is very high but the humidity is very low.
2. When the temperature and the humidity both are high.

In the first condition, the temperature usually rises after 12.00 P.M. In the morning bird feels comfortable and takes normal Feed. Again in the evening, the weather becomes pleasant.  Mostly the product don't drop much in such conditions. Moreover the physical method prove very effective in cooling. Like coolers, sprinklers or foggers etc.

In the second type of heat stress normally the day and night temperature don't  vary  much. As a result bird don't get a chance to recover it's Feed intake and it keeps sinking in the stress zone. The mortality and the drop in production is very high in this stage.

       Practically speaking this is the toughest time to handle Poultry. Dual feeding pattern i.e. feeding acidic Feed in the morning and the slightly alkaline in the evening give good results. Electrolytes do help sometimes but not much. Moreover with electrolytes production results don't improve. Heat Formula by GPF Poultry Feed Supplements is the best ready-made solution to such needs. It is to be given @ 50 gm/ 1000 birds during the peak hot hours. The results are amazing. It is cost effective also because you don't need to give it regular.
