Heat stress management in poultry

High ambient temperature is one of the major causes economic losses in livestock industry. The poultry industry an integral part It faces severe due to heat stress (HS). adverse effects HS can be seen on production performance, body temperature, intestinal health, appetite hormone regulation, immune responses and oxidative characteristics. important monitor these parameters identify possessions during rearing so that timely action taken minimize high temperature. Furthermore, application productive methods farms equally important. Several strategies have been suggested by researchers. Providing a suitable environment with selective systems along proper ventilation hygiene basic requirement for all types reared animal protein. Supplementation appropriate feed additive could useful improving absorption minimizing HS. Selection breeding resistant birds also provide merits germplasm strains. Early age thermal conditioning helps developing resistance most recent advancement supplementation active substances incubation. expected may potential impact creating thermotolerance newly hatched chicks.
