Poultry cooling and heatstroke
Poultry has a strong metabolism, with normal body temperature being high, such as 40°C to 42°C for chickens, 41°C to 43°C for ducks, and 40°C to 45°C for geese. Since the poultry body does not have sweat glands and covers thicker feathers, heat dissipation is almost entirely due to respiratory evaporation. Therefore, in the hot summer season, the following methods can be used to reduce heatstroke: Improve the environment Planting shade plants around the poultry house or using a pergola to cool off and shelter from the heat; The exterior of the poultry house is brushed with lime water to reduce radiant heat. Properly increase feed protein content and pay attention to supplemental vitamins and minerals. Adding onions and garlic in the feed will not only increase the appetite of the poultry, but also have the effect of sterilizing and relieving heat. Feeding should be carried out in the morning and in the evening when it is cooler and should be supplemented at night. Adjusting the temperature of the goose and duck with water can cool the land and water in the shaded pond. The chicken can spray water in the shaded place, or set the wet sand bath in the shade. Poultry houses and sports venues should be provided with adequate drinking water appliances and increased water supply times. Cooling up at night During high-temperature nights, you can open the windows and doors of poultry houses, or keep poultry out of the house. Strengthen management in peacetime and reduce activities such as poultry feeding, sports and fighting.
