2. Despurring
3. Dubbing
4. Dewattling
33
produce and dissipate heat to maintain constant body temperature
homeothermic
34
birds do not have sweat glands but they use panting mechanism reffered to as what
gular flutter
35
mechanism used by birds during hot weather to evaporate water from its throat thus reducing body temp.
panting mechanism
36
range of temp. where animals and poultry use no additional energy to maintain their core body temp.
thermoneutral zone
37
range of environmental conditions such as temp., humidity, airflow in which an animal appears to have physical and mental well being
thermoneutral zone a.k.a comfort zone
38
normal body temp. of a bird
41-43°C
39
thermoneutral zone temp. range
10°C-24°C or (50-75°F)
40
in this temp. the birds will adjust their behavior and decrease feed intake and production
29°C or 85°F
41
real danger is when temp. is greater than what
30°C or 86°F
42
if the body temp reaches 47°C or 117°F they die of what
heart failure
43
ideal humidity for poultry is
60-80%
44
age of broilers that are most susceptible to heat stress
5-7 week old
45
maximum heat stress is from mid-day to 6pm and a successful strategy to withhold feeds is how long
2 hours
46
they are more tolerant to heat stress
hens
47
you can manage heat through airflow. airflow at bird's level is key to removing bird heat
Managing Heat Stress
1. Providing ventilation✓
2. Feeding
3. Managing water
4. Using electrolytes
5. Providing sodium bicarbonate
6. Supplementing vitamins
48
birds are hungriest in the morning. provide feed 6 hrs before peak time to reduce heat stress. feed can be reintroduced after peak temp. declines. weight gain is decreased with this method
Managing Heat Stress
1. Providing ventilation
2. Feeding✓
3. Managing water
4. Using electrolytes
5. Providing sodium bicarbonate
6. Supplementing vitamins
49
birds increase water intake by 2 to 4 times the normal intake
Managing Heat Stress
1. Providing ventilation
2. Feeding
3. Managing water✓
4. Using electrolytes
5. Providing sodium bicarbonate
6. Supplementing vitamins
50
potassium chloride electrolytes appear to increase water intake when provided to drinking water at 0.6% concentration. use for up to three days prior to heat stress period
Managing Heat Stress
1. Providing ventilation
2. Feeding
3. Managing water
4. Using electrolytes✓
5. Providing sodium bicarbonate
6. Supplementing vitamins
51
panting and carbon dioxide release can change the acid-base balance in poultry, but also the bicarbonate available for eggshell formation thus sodium bicarbonate can help lessen these changes
Managing Heat Stress
1. Providing ventilation
2. Feeding
3. Managing water
4. Using electrolytes
5. Providing sodium bicarbonate✓
6. Supplementing vitamins
52
supplementing drinking water with vitamins (A, D, E and B complex) can be effective at tackling heat stress mortality in broilers. vit C can effectively moderate warm temp. declines in egg prod. and eggshell quality and semen prod.
