Feed intake in poultry to drop

With hot weather continuing, low egg weight and weak egg shell qualities will remain high in poultry. Hence, farmers were asked to protect birds from the prevailing summer.

A press release from the Nodal Officer of the Agromet Field Unit of Veterinary College and Research Institute and Regional Meteorological Centre, Chennai, said that the sky will be partly cloudy with chance of summer showers. The maximum and minimum temperature will be 40 degree Celsius (104 degree Fahrenheit) and 27 degree Celsius (80.6 degree Fahrenheit) respectively. Wind speed will be around five km per hour, mostly from southeast direction.

With summer continues to prevail with high temperature as like that of previous months, feed intake will decrease to around 90 gram per bird per day. Hence, farmers were asked to continue with their summer management, especially ensuring bird’s intake adequate water.
