Poultry

[D Kannathasan]

In hot weather, the best time to feed poultry in production sheds is during the coolest parts of the day—typically early morning and late evening. This timing helps reduce the birds’ metabolic heat load, which is the internal heat generated during digestion.

[Jeffery Escobar]

If the poultry house is equipped with artificial lighting, then evening and night feeding could be used during the coolest hours of the day. During the hot hours of the day, make sure that birds have plenty of air movement and cooled water to drink. The ideal temperature of the drinking water is between 10 and 15oC and for sure below 24oC during the hot hours of the day. Drinking water temperature at or above 35oC will likely results in reduced water intake or refusal to drink. If birds are not drinking water they will not consume feed.
