You can ensure egg freshness by using a simple water test or by cracking the egg to check its properties and smell. For the water test, place the egg in a bowl of cold water: a fresh egg will sink and lie flat, an older but still good egg will stand on its end, and a rotten egg will float. If an egg still seems questionable, crack it open in a separate bowl and look for a bright, firm yolk and a neutral smell; if there’s a bad odor or discoloration, discard it.

To manage heat stress, stay hydrated, stay cool by seeking shade or using air conditioning, wear loose and light-colored clothing, and reduce strenuous activity during the hottest parts of the day.

Monitor poultry feed and water intake by regularly checking water meters, observing flock behavior, and calculating the feed-to-water ratio. Daily monitoring of water consumption, comparing it to feed intake, and a visual inspection of the birds’ crops can help identify potential health or management issues, such as equipment malfunction, lack of access to water, or bird illness.

Broilers need high protein and energy to support rapid growth, while layers need lower protein but high calcium for eggshell formation. Broilers also require higher levels of vitamins A and K and adequate fat. Both require a balanced diet with essential amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and water, though the specific quantities vary based on their intended purpose.

Common enzymes used to enhance non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) digestibility in animal feed include xylanase (to break down arabinoxylans), glucanase (to degrade beta-glucans), and beta-mannanase (to break down galactomannans).
