🌧️ Cold Weather Tips for Climate-Controlled Layer Houses 🐔

Even in climate-controlled layer houses, hens can feel the effects of cold weather. 🌡️❄️ Here's what happens:

💧 Rising Humidity: As temperatures drop at night and early morning, relative humidity can soar to 85%.
🌀 Fan Adjustment: Automatic sensors reduce fan activity due to low temperature, leading to slower air exchange and increased moisture.
📉 Consequences: This can cause reduced feed intake, dirty eggs, and moist house floors.

✅ What to Do:
1️⃣ Override Fan Settings: Manually increase fan activity to maintain proper air exchange.
2️⃣ Adjust Cooling Pad Settings: Prevent excessive moisture buildup and maintain a dry, comfortable environment for your flock.

💡 Be proactive and protect your hens from the challenges of the season. Contact us at [email protected].

🌨️ Cold Weather Alert for Layer Farms! 🐔🥚

Is your egg production dropping? The cold weather and wind chill could be the culprits, especially in conventional housing systems. Hens tend to drink less water in the mornings, leading to reduced feed intake and lower production.

✅ Call-a-Vet Poultry Consultants recommends these practical solutions:

1️⃣ Install Flappers to shield hens from cold gusts and maintain a stable environment.
2️⃣ Adjust Lighting & Feeding Schedules to encourage steady water and feed intake.

💡 Proactive measures can make all the difference. Keep your flock healthy and production steady this season!

Tetrameriasis is a parasitic infection of poultry caused by a parasitic roundworms, Tetrameres spp. The two main species that affect poultry are T. americana and T. fissispina. These parasites specifically target the proventriculus of their avian hosts. The infection can cause significant damage to the proventriculus through nodule formation that can compress the glands, potentially causing atrophy. Continuous feeding by the worms irritates and inflames the proventricular mucosa. These damages can lead to the accumulation of undigested food in the proventriculus, disrupting the digestive process which affects overall feed utilization of the animal.

Chickens can become infected by ingesting an intermediate host, such as grasshoppers, cockroaches, earthworms, or water fleas which are usually present in dirty houses.
