Effect of feed restriction on broiler performance under heat stress
Introduction
Heat stress
الحرارى Body Heat balanceاإلتزان
H=E±R±C±K±S
Intensive Selection
Decreased broiler ability to cope with heat stress
1- Heat stress in tropic and subtropics countries
Such as Egypt 2- Continuous intensive selection for fast growth:
- Decreased broiler ability to cope with heat stress
- Increased body fat
- Increased mortality %
- Increased metabolic diseases (SDS, Ascites & Heart disease)
- Increased Skeletal disorders & leg abnormalities
Problem statement
Methods to reduce Heat stress:
1- Behavioral & Physiological Responses
2- House design, Housing method & Equipments
3- Management & nutritional practices
Nutritional practices
Increase dietary protein
Essential amino acids
Increase dietary fats
Feeding calcium carbonate
Supplements such as minerals and
vitamins
Feeding management Introduce good quality of feed
Feed should not be stored for longer time
Encourage eating at cooler times of the day
Dim the lights to reduces activity and
reduces heat load
Remove feed for 4 to 6 hours
(Yalcin et al., 2005 and Daghir, 2008)
Aim of the study
This study was planned to: Examine some managerial methods to alleviate
the negative effects of
Heat Stress as well as to
overcome of some problems resulting from the Rapid Growth
during the early ages in broiler chicks
Early Acclimation method:
- Repeated & Short- daily
- exposure to a hot- &
- humid climate
- (e.g., 35 – 37 C, 60 % RH)
Early Heat Acclimation (EHA)
- Feed Restriction defination.
- Methods of FR:1. Quantitative feed restriction 1. Physical F.R.2. Lighting
2. Qualitative feed restriction1. Diet dilution 2. Low-nutrient density3. Feed texture 4. Chemical methods
Feed Restriction (FR)
1- Reduce heat stress and its bad effects
2- Reduce feed intake, feed cost & maximize the profit of the production
3- Improve feed conversion
4- Decrease metabolic Diseases (SDS, Ascites, Heart disease, Leg abnormalities ...... etc).
5- Reducing abdominal fats & blood lipids
6- Improve carcass quality
7- Reduce death losses (mortality)
8- Improve birds activity (motivation).
9- ............................ , etc.

Materials and Methods
This present study was carried out at
Poultry Research Station, Animal Production Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Al-Azhar
University, Nasr City, Cairo, Egypt.
This study was performed during the summer months
(from June to September) under Egyptian conditions.

Broiler Chickens under
Acute Heat Stress
Second Experiment: Acute Heat Stress
Age of birds 40 day

Ambient temperature increased gradually
( from 32 oC to 42 oC)
Acute heat stress remained from 10:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m or until 50 % of the control group died from heat stress.
Procedure

Conclusion and Recommendations
General Conclusion Short period of feed restriction appear to be beneficial in improving productive, economic performance and carcass quality.
Feed restriction of heat stressed broilers is responsible for increase heat resistance and improves the heat tolerance of growing broilers especially when exposed to acute heat waves.
Long period of feed restriction are not only responsible for poor performance and reduce final body weight, but also, it improves the survivability of growing broilers when exposed to hot waves during summer season.
Long period of feed restriction may be:Reduced weight gain
Longer growing period Delay the marketing age
But also it:Reduced mortality during acute heat stress
Therefore, the producer has to weigh the benefits of Faster growth rate
vs. Greater mortality risk
Under the conditions of these studies it could be recommended:
Feed Restriction during the hottest hours of the day could be
the best method for application in broiler farms
as a common practice to alleviate the negative effects of
chronic & acute heat stress especially in tropic and subtropic countries
