High mortality due to hypothermia.
Reduced feed intake and slower growth.
Crowding behavior (chicks huddle together), which can lead to suffocation and injuries.
Weakened immunity, making chicks prone to infections (like colibacillosis or respiratory issues).

Nice information

Bacterial vaccines are effective in poultry for reducing infections and mortality, though efficacy varies based on vaccine type, the specific pathogen, age of the birds, and management practices. Some vaccines have shown high protection rates, such as 100% mortality protection in one study, while factors like poor handling can reduce effectiveness.

To scale up a poultry business, you must invest in infrastructure, management systems, and partnerships while focusing on market research and developing a strong brand to justify your premium product. Secure funding by creating a detailed business plan, conducting market research to find potential buyers, and approaching banks, investors, or agricultural development funds for capital.

A sudden drop in feed intake can be caused by diseases, parasites, heat stress, water availability issues, changes in feed quality or composition, and environmental stressors like overcrowding or vaccination. These factors can individually or collectively reduce an animal’s appetite, interfere with digestion, or make feeding difficult, signaling an underlying problem that requires investigation.
