It varies with geographical position and depends on age and purpose, but key vaccines include Marek’s (day 1), ND + IB (5–7 days), IBD (10–14 days), ND Clone (Day 16-18).

Optimal Water Temperature- Birds prefer water that’s slightly cooler than their body temperature. Drinking cold water helps with heat dissipation and body temperature regulation. High water temperatures can lead to reduced feed intake, while cold water can increase consumption

Thanks for the insight

Improved nutrient digestibility, break down complex molecules into simpler nutrients

How does water temperature affect feed intake and digestion in birds?

Providing clean, warm water with electrolytes, quick feed access, and pre-warmed, well-lit brooders are simple yet highly effective ways to help chicks start feeding and recover energy fast.

Excellent explanations — early detection and prompt action truly make the biggest difference in minimizing flock losses.
-
Temperature fluctuations can cause chilling or overheating, leading to stress, poor feed intake, weak immunity, and higher early chick mortality.

Influenced by both high and low temperature stress

It highlights the need to provide easily digestible feed, stable temperature, and proper lighting to stimulate early feed intake, setting a strong foundation for long-term growth and health.

Exactly they weaken the defense organs .

Well explained — mycotoxins severely damage immune organs and reduce vaccine response.

Exactly the right points
