We have written about the various measures that you can undertake in order to minimize stress in your poultry. We also mentioned that you can institute a stress management program that will help in further alleviating incidences of stress and allow your chickens to hit optimal health. What is this stress management program and how can you actualize it?
Whenever chickens experience stress, their bodies will utilize the reserves of nutrition in their body in order to restore a healthy physiological balance. However, when these nutritional reserves are depleted due to prolonged periods of stress, the impact on the poultry can be deadly.
Through a stress management program, you can utilize non-medicated nutritional supplements that will help restore the bodily nutritional reserves in the chickens. This is accomplished through these five essential nutrients:-
- Amino acids
- Minerals
- Vitamins
- Electrolytes
- Probiotics as well as fermentation products
By using a stress management program on your poultry during transportation or in any periods of stress, you will help in physiologically preparing your chickens to survive potential stress that is caused by transportation or other agents while also revitalizing the health of your chickens. This will eventually boost the production rates in your poultry farm.
