ππ§ WATER + MINERALS + HEAT STRESS β THEY ALL MATTER! π‘οΈ
When temperatures rise, your chickens need adequate clean water to stay hydrated and maintain normal body functions. Heat stress can also increase water loss and affect electrolyte balance, feed intake, growth and production.
π§ Minerals & electrolytes can be useful during heat-stress periods when appropriately selected and administered.
π¬οΈ Help your flock beat the heat:
β
Provide clean, fresh water at all times
β
Check drinkers regularly
β
Ensure good ventilation and airflow
β
Provide shade where possible
β
Monitor birds for panting and weakness
β
Use appropriate electrolyte/mineral supplementation when indicated
π¨ Don't wait until heat stress causes serious losses. Prevention starts with good management.
