During the last weeks before delivery in meat poultry and during peak production in laying poultry, stress is a major problem during hot summer days.
With broilers, turkeys, etc., the feed intake decreases and the loss increases (especially in the last weeks). In laying hens, laying percentages and egg weights are no longer achieved; in addition, the quality of the eggshells deteriorates. This means a considerable loss.
Extra electrolytes and vitamin C can help to keep the pH of the blood constant during warm conditions and to cope better with stress situations.
