Care your chickens in humid times

Care your chickens in humid times

Indian poultry faces different weathers during the year. Sometimes it's very hot and humid and sometimes its very cold and dry. Though the farmers put all their efforts to save their chickens from these adverse conditions but these physical methods sometimes don't come up to the expectations as far as results are concerned. Dietary changes are must for the farm to survive.

Proteins and calories requirements altogether change with the change in climate. For example, Rajasthan in India is very dry and hot whereas sea coastal areas are hot and humid, Himachal is cold and humid as far as climate is concerned. If you analyze the eating pattern of these states, you will agree that the same changes are required for other livestock also. If we don't change this, different type of bacterial infections crop up. Humid environment invites the requirement of more of proteins than the dry weather. Similarly at cold temp. energy requirements are increased. Water intake of the bird also needs to be monitored climatically. Higher water intake suggest bird feeling hot inside and needs to be taken care of.

Careful watch of every activity of the bird provides solution to every problem.
