Broilers peak and scratch out bedding

Dear Raj Mehra , Cardinal causes includes nutritional deficiency ( Salt , essential amino acids and minerals deficiencies ) caused by reduced feed uptake owing to environmental stress ( sudden change in climatic conditions ). Managemental cause includes stocking density leading to overcrowding . Prolapse and pasty vents also triggers of pecking . IRecommendation - Addition of salt , any growth promoter liquid supplement containing amino acids and minerals for three to five days . Correct stocking density to avoid overcrowding also ensure continuous lightning . Thanks Dr Rakesh Nimbalkar Consultant - Poultry Nutritionist Polchem Hygiene Laboratories Private Limited Pune
