🔆 Is the Heat Affecting Your Flock? 🔆

As temperatures rise, poultry become more vulnerable to heat stress, which can lead to reduced feed intake, lower egg production, and even increased mortality. Signs to watch out for include:
🐔 Panting and wing spreading
💧 Increased water intake but decreased appetite
🥚 Reduced egg production and poor shell quality

Prevent heat stress before it affects your farm! Ensure proper ventilation, provide ample cool water, and adjust feeding schedules to cooler times of the day.

Rising temperatures aren’t just uncomfortable—they can severely impact poultry health and productivity. Here’s how heat stress affects different types of poultry:

🐥 Broilers:
🔻 Weight gain slows down (by 5-10%)
🔻 Feed conversion ratio (FCR) worsens (by 10-12%)
🔻 Meat yield quality declines

🥚 Layers & Breeders:
🔻 Lower egg production
🔻 Poor eggshell quality & smaller sizes
🔻 Delayed laying onset & smaller replacement pullets

🐓 Breeders:
🔻 Reduced fertility & mating
🔻 Poor semen quality & female infertility
🔻 Lower hatchability & weak chicks

🔥 Don’t let heat stress take a toll on your farm! Ensure proper ventilation, hydration, and expert guidance.

🥶 Cold Weather & Poultry Nutrition: Why Increased Feed Intake Matters 🐓

As temperatures drop, hens require more energy to stay warm and maintain productivity.

✅ Energy Needs: Without sufficient feed, hens divert energy from production, leading to increased intake—up to 25% more in extreme cold. Adjust feed by 1% per 1°C drop below 18-20°C.
✅ Balanced Diet: Proper nutrition supports feather growth and egg production. 🥚
✅ Key Nutrients: Increasing dietary energy (instead of protein) maintains feed intake, growth, and FCR. 🌾

Optimizing feed intake and nutrient balance ensures your flock stays warm, healthy, and productive!

Optimizing Breeder Management in Cold Weather for Maximum Chick Production ❄️🐣

Cold weather presents unique challenges for breeder flocks, but with strategic management, you can maintain productivity and flock health. Key considerations include:

✅ Temperature Regulation – Invest in reliable heating systems and closely monitor temperatures at bird level to prevent fluctuations. 🌡️
✅ Ventilation & Insulation – Maintain warmth while ensuring proper airflow to reduce moisture buildup and respiratory issues. 🌬️
✅ Nutritional Adjustments – Increase energy intake, ensure high-quality feed, and prevent water freezing to support bird health. 🥚
✅ Lighting & Egg Management – Optimize lighting programs for egg production and collect eggs frequently to prevent chilling. 💡🥚

Stay on top of records and consult your vet for tailored advice! Let’s keep those flocks thriving this winter! 🐓❄️
