Project Overview
Electrolyte supplementation to alleviate the adverse effects of severe heat stre
16 July 2018 – 15 September 2019
Meat chickens are highly susceptible to heat stress, particularly during periods of prolonged hot weather events in shed conditions and also during transport. Heatwaves in Australia are expected to become a regular occurrence, so there is a need to identify and implement strategies that complement current strategies to reduce heat stress in meat chickens, such as the use of electrolytes.
