Summer high temperatures strike, and those who raise poultry know that chickens do not have sweat glands and are much more afraid of heat than humans. Their adaptability to high temperatures is poor, and summer temperatures are generally high. Therefore, mastering certain cooling and heatstroke prevention methods is an essential skill in the process of raising chickens, in order to avoid problems in the chicken flock and affect the economic benefits of breeding.
Yueneng brings you several cooling methods
1. Evaporative cooling pad cooling
At the beginning, use a mixture of cooling pad and small windows for ventilation, gradually transitioning to using only cooling pad for cooling. Step by step, avoid cooling down too quickly and catching a cold in the chicken flock. The intermittent supply of cooling pad water keeps the cooling pad in a gradually dry and gradually wet cycle to achieve the best effect of steam evaporation from the surface of the water cooling paper.
2. Fan cooling
When the indoor temperature is high and humid, the cooling effect of the cooling pad is not good. Turn off the cooling pad, increase ventilation, and use the air cooling effect to cool down. Generally, exhaust fans are chosen and placed at the exhaust outlet to achieve forced air circulation.
3. Fan evaporative cooling pad cooling
When using a fan or cooling pad alone cannot cool down, it is necessary to consider both at the same time. A fan is paired with approximately 6 cubic evaporative cooling pad wall, which are responsible for evaporation, while a exhaust fan is responsible for removing indoor hot air, odors, and dust, resulting in a significant cooling effect.

4. Sunshade net cooling
The high temperature inside the chicken coop can cause abdominal muscle fatigue, slow down breathing speed, make heat dissipation more difficult, and lead to respiratory acidosis symptoms, resulting in a sharp increase in mortality. It is recommended to install a shading net on the roof of the chicken coop to reduce direct sunlight.

Overall, the decrease in feed intake of chicken flocks during the high temperature season directly affects the breeding efficiency of the chicken farm. Therefore, doing a good job in summer heatstroke prevention and cooling is the key point for raising chickens in summer.
