*HEAT STRESS*<div>
</div><div>Preventing heat stress in poultry involves several measures:</div><div>
</div><div>1. **Ventilation:** Ensure proper airflow in the poultry house to remove heat and humidity.</div><div>
</div><div>2. **Cooling systems:** Use misters, fans, or evaporative cooling systems to lower the temperature.</div><div>
</div><div>3. **Shade:** Provide ample shade within the area where the birds are kept.</div><div>
</div><div>4. **Water:** Ensure a constant supply of clean, cool water for drinking.</div><div>
</div><div>5. **Dietary adjustments:** Modify feed to include electrolytes and reduce metabolic heat production.</div><div>
</div><div>6. **Reduce stocking density:** Avoid overcrowding to allow better airflow and lower stress levels.</div><div>
</div><div>7. **Monitoring:** Regularly check bird behavior and health to identify signs of heat stress early.</div><div>
</div><div>Implementing these measures helps maintain a comfortable environment for poultry and reduces the risk of heat stress-related issues.</div> -

Water supplied to birds needs to be at or below 24oC. Drinking water at or above 35oC will likely results in low water intake, reduce growth, reduced body weight gain, lower feed intake, poorer FCR, and may reduce livability (especially in the first 3 weeks of age).
