The environment can be defined as the combination of external conditions which have an impact on animals and humans. Perhaps the most important physiological response of poultry to the environment is the constant maintenance of a homoeothermic state during exposure to extreme ambient temperatures. Environmental stress causes adverse effects on performance of poultry. There are different types of...
Good article about Management of Poultry in extreme Weather. High humidity and temperature cuases severe panting in birds. evaporative cooling systems cannot be affactive to reduce temperature, how the eveporative cooling system can be used in humid condition?
Fogging or cooling pad it self add up humidity in the house. running cooling system on timer is also not a good to acheive affactive temperature. the only way of servival is to acheive wind chill affact by using more and mor CFM per kg . Air exchange rate should be less than 50 seconds.
very good article about Management of Poultry in extreme Weather and important point raised by Mr.Ehsan. i think,beside increasing CFM per Kg b.wt,we should also turn our sprinkler or fogger on timer and avoid temprature driven soaking system of cooling pads.Because,it is observed that on temp.driven settings,soaking system run continously which increases humidity. On timer driven settings,we can cool down air little bit according to efficiency of system.
Very challenging article. I have started to redesign my poultry shade to increase on ventilation vis-a-vis stocking density. Thanks very much for enlighting me on stressors.

Our weather conditions are unpredictable and changed recently. It's very hot here in Sind Pakistan.
We need more electricity to run system. Which costs too much.
We face no electricity 20 hours daily. Can you suggest any alternative source of energy which cost low against usage of genrators.
Shouldn't we built a house in basement? Wouldn't it b possible?
