To keep chickens cool during extreme heat, provide ample shade, ensure excellent ventilation with fans if possible, and offer constant access to cool, fresh water with ice. Supplement these measures by misting the coop area, providing moist dirt for dust baths, and feeding cooling treats like frozen fruits or vegetables while limiting protein-rich feed

Good question

Emerging poultry diseases include novel viral infections like Astrovirus causing fatal gout in goslings, diverse Avian Gyroviruses, and re-emerging threats such as certain strains of Avian Influenza, Newcastle disease, and Infectious Bronchitis.

Mr Muhammed thank you for the updated response

Pre-heat brooding area & sanitize equipment and surroundings.
Ensure proper temperature, humidity & check chick quality and uniformity.
Activate water lines before arrival & provide electrolytes/vitamins to reduce stress.
Monitor crop fill test.
-
The most common are E. coli, Salmonella, and Clostridium perfringens.
-
Keep water lines clean, ensure good flow and pressure, and provide enough feeder space so all birds can eat and drink comfortably.

Using skim milk or commercial stabilizer (i.e Vital Blue) helps maintain the live vaccines strength during preparation and application.

Stakes are a normal reaction, indicating that the live vaccine worked effectively and triggered proper immunity, which is an indicator of an effective vaccine.

<b data-start=”138″ data-end=”169″><strong data-start=”142″ data-end=”169″>1. Clean Drinking Water
Water is essential for digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health.
<strong data-start=”246″ data-end=”255″>Tips:
<ul data-start=”256″ data-end=”928″>
<strong data-start=”258″ data-end=”288″>Provide fresh water daily: Change water at least once a day, or more often in hot weather.
<strong data-start=”355″ data-end=”380″>Use clean containers: Avoid rusty or dirty containers, as bacteria can thrive in them.
<strong data-start=”448″ data-end=”474″>Prevent contamination: Keep waterers off the floor, and clean any spilled feed to prevent mold growth.
<strong data-start=”557″ data-end=”589″>Use proper watering systems:
<ul data-start=”592″ data-end=”720″>
<strong data-start=”594″ data-end=”622″>Nipples or bell drinkers are efficient and reduce contamination.
<strong data-start=”667″ data-end=”678″>Troughs should be cleaned and scrubbed regularly.
<strong data-start=”723″ data-end=”747″>Check water quality: Test for chlorine, pH (ideal 6.5–8.5), and contaminants like bacteria or heavy metals.
<strong data-start=”837″ data-end=”868″>Add electrolytes if needed: In hot climates, electrolytes can help prevent dehydration.

<strong data-start=”1029″ data-end=”1038″>Tips:
<ul data-start=”1039″ data-end=”1672″>
<strong data-start=”1041″ data-end=”1063″>Use balanced feed: Choose feeds formulated for the type and age of your poultry (starter, grower, layer, or finisher).
<strong data-start=”1166″ data-end=”1193″>Ensure constant access: Poultry should have feed available <strong data-start=”1229″ data-end=”1243″>ad libitum (especially broilers). For layers, maintain consistent feeding schedules.
<strong data-start=”1320″ data-end=”1345″>Feed quality matters:
<ul data-start=”1348″ data-end=”1438″>
Avoid moldy, stale, or insect-infested feed.
Store feed in dry, airtight containers.
<strong data-start=”1441″ data-end=”1469″>Supplement as necessary:
<ul data-start=”1472″ data-end=”1591″>
Calcium for layers (egg shells)
Protein supplements if growing chicks
Vitamins and minerals depending on diet
<strong data-start=”1594″ data-end=”1618″>Monitor feed intake: Low intake can indicate illness or poor feed quality.

Well said True that the quality of pellets & balanced nutrition make all the difference.
-
Absolutely. I’ve observed the same that pelleted feed often boosts growth & feed efficiency. Thanks for sharing!
