  • Heat-stress study shows need to increase ventilation with stocking density

    As bird density increases, broiler producers need to be “more aggressive” with house ventilation to prevent heat stress in flocks, Brian Fairchild, PhD, professor, and Ming Lin Teo, graduate research assistant, University of Georgia, told Poultry Health Today.

  • Heat stress may impair immune system in broilers

    Heat stress in broilers induced lesions of lymphoid tissues, indicating immune system impairment, but it’s not yet known if heat stress affects the vulnerability or severity of coccidiosis.

  • Adapt feeding programs to reduce summer heat stress

    Adjusting broiler feeding programs in the summer months can help avoid the health and growth challenges associated with heat stress.
