pearance due to rapid muscle changes: high temperatures and a rapid drop in muscle pH cause sarcoplasmic protein denaturation and loss of water-holding capacity, resulting in pale, less red, and more exuding meat. Hormonal changes and oxidative stress from the body’s struggle to cool itself also contribute to muscle damage that affects meat quality and color.

The shelf life of refined soybean oil is generally six months to one year, though this can vary depending on storage conditions and the product’s specific formulation. To maximize shelf life, store the oil in its original, sealed container, away from light, heat, and moisture, and in a cool, dry, and dark place. Signs of spoilage include a sharp or bitter smell, a bitter taste, and discoloration.

Nutrition plays an important role in growth, health and productivity of birds

Good quality feed is essential for:

1. For proper growth and attaining proper body weight

2. Better feed efficiency

3. Improved health and immunity – nutrients maintain bird’s health and boost immunity, hence preventing the birds from getting infected.

4. Increase production – good quality feed yields better production (body weight gain in broilers and egg mass in layers)

5. With increased productivity and better feed efficiency, margin of production will be high.

6. Poor quality feed reduces productivity. In addition, causes deficiency disorders affecting the health of the birds. Low quality of feed due to presence of mycotoxins, antinutritional factors, contamination with microbes or toxicants or heavy metals can adversely affect performance and also liability.

Lighting enhances birds activity to eat which make them grow and develop well. Also, uniformity of light in the pen house will contribute to the uniformity of the flock.
