Dear Dr.Narsapur,

Very informative article On heat stress managment in poultry.
Nicely explained effect of heat stress & its prevention.
Regarding Nutritional managment
Chromium also has effect on reducing the cortisol (Stress hormone) level there by reducing stress and improving the glucose utilization. Organic Chromium -such as Chromium propionate with Vitamin C has synergistic effect on reducing the heat stress and improving immunity, nutrient utilization & production. Feed additives such as Cr + Vitamin C will have greater effect during summer/stress period.

Thanks and regards
Dr.Thirumeignanam
