Vet services urge poultry heat protections
The veterinary authorities are calling on poultry farmers to take urgent measures to protect flocks from heat stress due to ongoing high temperatures and frequent power outages, which threaten the health of the poultry and production. These measures include maintaining proper ventilation and cooling inside the farms, ensuring the availability of clean and cold drinking water, securing backup generators ready to operate, as well as improving feeding programs and implementing biosecurity procedures. They also emphasize monitoring signs of heat stress such as heavy panting and decreased water and feed consumption, and preventing mating and transportation operations during the peak hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to reduce risks.
