How to minimize effect of "HEAT STRESS" now a days,
When peak metabolic heat gets added with environmental heat it leads to heat stroke.
Metabolic heat generated gets its paek 3 to 4 hours after feed is finished .
So
▪︎ try to offer feed in very early hours of day like 3am.
▪︎Try to provide concentrated feed with less quantity.
▪︎Use vit c (ascorbic acid)to neutralize free redicals formed by heat stress.
▪︎ first provide cool water and then offer feed after half an hr.
▪︎You can split feed in you portions one during early morning like 3am and remaining around 4pm this practice will atleast help to control mortality though floor eggs will increase and also disturb the daily production pattern.
▪︎Use bicarbonates to regulate acid base balance.
▪︎Do white wash on shed roofs.
▪︎Use electrolyte
NOTE
☆AFTER TAKING ALL ABOVE MEASURES IF TEMPRETURE GO BEYOND 31 WITH 90% + HUMIDITY AND AIR SPEED LESS THAN 650 FOOT PER MINUTE YOU can't fully control the mortality .
*Check fan belts , blades, pullies , pads and leakages , run pads on timer as continuous running pads lowers fan efficiency thus decreases air speed .
