- Provide electrolyte from water during hot hours.
- If possible cover pipeline
Feed Management
In birds 7 to 12 % of body heat increased during 2 hours after eating of feed, so body temperature of birds goes in increasing which result in heatstroke and mortality goes on increased. for that
- Feeding done to the birds during cool hours i.e. from 5.30 pm to 9.00 am.
- Put feeder on hanging position during hot hours i.e. from 9.00 am to 5.30pm.
- Increase number of feeder during cool hours.
- Do shaking after each 2 hours during cool hours.
- Do change in feed formulation
- 20-25% extra vitamines.
- Increase Energy level in feed.
