increased feed intake

[Sergio Andres Silva Rodriguez]

En avicultura, durante el invierno es importante mantener temperatura adecuada en el galpón, buena ventilación y alimento fresco y de alta calidad, ya que el frío puede reducir el consumo. También se recomienda ajustar la densidad energética de la dieta y garantizar acceso permanente al agua, lo que ayuda a mantener el consumo y prevenir problemas sanitarios como la Bronquitis infecciosa aviar y la Enfermedad de Newcastle.

Gracias por los aportes. Desde control de calidad y manejo nutricional, la literatura indica que para aumentar la ingesta en invierno es clave mantener a las aves dentro de su zona de confort térmico mediante buena aislación y control de corrientes de aire. El frío incrementa los requerimientos energéticos, por lo que dietas con mayor densidad energética (grasas) ayudan a sostener consumo y desempeño.

Para aumentar la ingesta de pienso en invierno, ofrece más energía y proteína, mantén acceso constante al alimento, asegúrate de que el agua no se congele y evita el estrés por frío mediante un gallinero bien aislado

To encourage increased feed intake in poultry during winter, the primary strategy is to maintain the thermal neutral zone by providing supplemental heating and insulating the housing to prevent the birds from using dietary energy solely for thermoregulation. Increasing the nutrient density of the diet, specifically through the addition of high-quality fats or oils, compensates for the increased metabolic demand. Additionally, ensuring that the drinking water is slightly warmed (approximately 15–20°C) prevents birds from reducing their intake due to cold water. Furthermore, extending the photoperiod with artificial lighting to provide 14–16 hours of light ensures the birds have sufficient time to consume the necessary volume of feed during the shorter winter days.

Warmth + accessible, tasty, high-energy feed boosts intake.

Proper house temperature, insulation, avoid drafts, add fats/oils to meet higher energy needs, pellets or crumbles, keep feeders full, fresh feed multiple times a day, especially mornings, keep water clean and unfrozen.

To encourage more winter feed intake in poultry, offer energy-dense foods like corn/fats, provide warm water/mash, give high-protein treats (mealworms), scatter feed to encourage foraging, and add supplements like apple cider vinegar for appetite, while ensuring balanced nutrients in their main diet to fuel body heat and egg production.

To encourage winter feed intake in poultry, increase dietary energy with fats/oils/corn, offer warm mash, provide more frequent meals, ensure unfrozen water, scatter feed for activity, and use supplemental lighting to stimulate appetite and maintain warmth, as they burn more calories in the cold.
