Heat Stress Management via Nutritional Strategies for Broilers

Abstract

Over the last decades, the rate of broiler production has been increased to encounter the increase growing demand and to assure the food security among the human. Heat stress is kind of a leading concern in the broiler productiveness because it directly has effects on the profit of the industry. Poultry birds can standardize their body temperature with a much tapered range of environmental temperatures. High ambient temperature unpleasantly effect on the enactment of broiler birds rather than other livestock species. The unfavorable effects of increased heat include reduce growth performances, deprived meat quality, impairing metabolic activities, destructive morphology of gastrointestinal tract, wearying immune functions, prejudicing hematological parameters and endocrine systems, etc. Henceforth, observance in the opinion the present condition, it is essential to recognize the depth of the combative consequences of high environmental temperature on broilers and look advancing to diminish the influence wherever. Thus, introducing upgraded genes, modified housing condition, altering management practices, novel feeding techniques and nutrition management via changing compositions of the diet, acquaint with innovative feed additives are some preferences which can be adhered to. The emphasis of this article is to unfold the evidence on disparaging influences and open the eye of stake holders to take corrective measures while disseminating the findings of scholars.
