Stressors can be tackled by supplementing chicken diets with vitamins and antioxidants. Poultry birds cannot produce enough vitamins during stressful periods, and therefore, it is recommended to supplement their diets with a combination of vitamins or antioxidants.

Stress in broilers weakens the immune system, making birds more susceptible to bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections like Newcastle Disease, Infectious Bursal Disease (Gumboro), and coccidiosis. Proper stress management improves growth, feed conversion, and overall health, reducing disease incidence.
1. Proper brooding management.
2. Optimal stocking density.
3. Temperature and ventilation control.
4. Good nutrition and clean water supply
5. Effective vaccination and biosecurity.
