Nutritional alternatives to mitigate heat stress

Poultry experiencing heat stress due to panting can experience mineral loss, particularly sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. Panting increases carbon dioxide loss, leading to respiratory alkalosis, which can disrupt mineral balance and increase mineral excretion.

At this stage, Mineral supplements through water will be immediately absorbed, and the deficiency can be removed.

Climatizing the birds is the best heat stress solution, I know

Livestock Industry Foundation for Africa,a livestock knowledge sharing NGO formed in Nigeria has as part of her initiative climate smart feeding as tool to mitigate climate change vulnerabilities, and reduction of feed cost in poultry.
Integration of dietary betaine with this procedure significantly reduced feed cost and improved productivity and stock livability in hot weather's
The NGO is headed by Dr Stephen Adejoro with over 45 years practical experiences in the tropics.
Livestock Industry Foundation for Africa ,since 2019 have had training in 48 locations in Africa ,including Nigeria where the programme started in 2019.
So far the NGO had visited 20 countries in Africa,mostly from West Africa and East Africa.
This year the country will further visit farmers in Tanzania,Uganda and Rwanda .
This NGO is still interested in collaboration with international organization that cherished improvement in Animal food security.

Lifting feeders during hot part of the day in broilers (possible With small farmers with manual feeder) will avoid overeating and sudden death

Adding Sulphur amino acids will increase the feed cost. In my experience adding betaine is cheaper and very effective solution as long as you keep the recommended levels of Methionine. You just avoid using Methionine as NH3 producer.
