Impact of heat stress on poultry: How to reduce the impact on birds and prevent losses of performances during the summer period?

Insteresting experiment showing that performances are improved with your product at p= 0.1 or 0.07. Question: what is the effect of your product at more realistic temperature? On the field I never seen a change from 21°C to 35°C in few hours for 14 days. I want to say that I have travelled and visiting farms in a lot of hot countries.

Dear Philippe, Thank you for this question and your interest. This application is not the main positionning of the product. An increase of temperature from 21 to 35 °c is called a "model" in order to mimick highly challenging situation due to heat stress. This product XTRACT is a natural growth promoter which works first under normal climatic conditions. The product consistently (with P value : 0.001) improves BWG, reduces FCR and improves carcass weight and quality. This product is now reaching the final step of an EFSA approval as "zootechnical additive". In that process, an external panel of scientists evaluated our performance and concluded on its efficacy. It will be the first 100% plant extract product to be upgraded to that category, where up to day only acidifiers, enzymes and pre/probiotics were accepted. The heat stress situation is only intensifying the difference between treatments. Most of our clients are using this additive all along the year. I remain at your disposal for more information, best regards

First of all, Thanks for such an informative material about heat stress. But you have concentrated only on Leaky gut Syndrome, due to mucosa eruption due to lack of blood supply. While the birds are also suffering from metabolic acidosis, due to potassium loss and respiratory alkalosis , due to excessive CO2. loss during panting and energy deficiency due to excessive exercise of panting and also stress and lmmunosuppression due to excessive ACTH production. What about these aspects while using "extract" and Please mention major ingredients of EXTRACT. THANKS

This is interesting subject but you didn't talk about intestinal integrity and how you evaluated it in your experiment
