CONTROLLING THE HEAT STRESS BY WETTING THE PEN FLOOR SURFACE // LIFE OF A LIVESTOCK FARMER.
My birds have been reduced from 150 birds to 52 birds. I have sold some for Easter period and dressed the rest on scale selling price. The rest of the birds now have enough space and chance to walk around the pen which makes the birds mobility easier. Today was a bit sunny after a heavy downpour of rain yesterday.
STEPS TAKING.
As usual when the sun is hot, the birds temperature always go high which makes them to be panting heavily and feeling uncomfortable to walk around. So I tried another truck by wetting the pen floor surface to create a wet and cold floor for the birds. Since one of the places you can feel their temperature is under their armpits and on the lower part of their breasts. I have wetted the floor so this reduced their temperature.
Finally,I also took my time to look after them during the heat stress.
