Q

produce and dissipate heat to maintain constant body temperature

A

homeothermic

34
Q

birds do not have sweat glands but they use panting mechanism reffered to as what

A

gular flutter

35
Q

mechanism used by birds during hot weather to evaporate water from its throat thus reducing body temp.

A

panting mechanism

36
Q

range of temp. where animals and poultry use no additional energy to maintain their core body temp.

A

thermoneutral zone

37
Q

range of environmental conditions such as temp., humidity, airflow in which an animal appears to have physical and mental well being

A

thermoneutral zone a.k.a comfort zone

38
Q

normal body temp. of a bird

39
Q

thermoneutral zone temp. range

A

10°C-24°C or (50-75°F)

40
Q

in this temp. the birds will adjust their behavior and decrease feed intake and production

A

29°C or 85°F

41
Q

real danger is when temp. is greater than what

A

30°C or 86°F

42
Q

if the body temp reaches 47°C or 117°F they die of what

A

heart failure

43
Q

ideal humidity for poultry is

44
Q

age of broilers that are most susceptible to heat stress

A

5-7 week old

45
Q

maximum heat stress is from mid-day to 6pm and a successful strategy to withhold feeds is how long

46
Q

they are more tolerant to heat stress

47
Q

you can manage heat through airflow. airflow at bird’s level is key to removing bird heat

A

Managing Heat Stress
1. Providing ventilation✓
2. Feeding
3. Managing water
4. Using electrolytes
5. Providing sodium bicarbonate
6. Supplementing vitamins

48
Q

birds are hungriest in the morning. provide feed 6 hrs before peak time to reduce heat stress. feed can be reintroduced after peak temp. declines. weight gain is decreased with this method

A

Managing Heat Stress
1. Providing ventilation
2. Feeding✓
3. Managing water
4. Using electrolytes
5. Providing sodium bicarbonate
6. Supplementing vitamins

49
Q

birds increase water intake by 2 to 4 times the normal intake

A

Managing Heat Stress
1. Providing ventilation
2. Feeding
3. Managing water✓
4. Using electrolytes
5. Providing sodium bicarbonate
6. Supplementing vitamins

50
Q

potassium chloride electrolytes appear to increase water intake when provided to drinking water at 0.6% concentration. use for up to three days prior to heat stress period

A

Managing Heat Stress
1. Providing ventilation
2. Feeding
3. Managing water
4. Using electrolytes✓
5. Providing sodium bicarbonate
6. Supplementing vitamins

51
Q

panting and carbon dioxide release can change the acid-base balance in poultry, but also the bicarbonate available for eggshell formation thus sodium bicarbonate can help lessen these changes

A

Managing Heat Stress
1. Providing ventilation
2. Feeding
3. Managing water
4. Using electrolytes
5. Providing sodium bicarbonate✓
6. Supplementing vitamins

52
Q

supplementing drinking water with vitamins (A, D, E and B complex) can be effective at tackling heat stress mortality in broilers. vit C can effectively moderate warm temp. declines in egg prod. and eggshell quality and semen prod.
