Grower

Warm, humid climates increase disease pressure in young chicks. Support immunity through nutrition, dry litter, and proper vaccination handling.

Ensure adequate ventilation, maintain ammonia below 20 ppm, and implement dust control. Strengthen biosecurity and follow regional vaccination schedules.

Maintain water sanitation, use functional fibers and organic acids, and ensure gradual diet transitions.

Leg problems in broilers may arise from accelerated growth rates, mineral imbalances, inadequate litter conditions, suboptimal lighting programs, and genetic factors.

Grower broilers generally require approximately 200–300 ml of water per bird each day, with consumption levels increasing under conditions of elevated temperature.

To prevent wet litter in high-density poultry farms, manage ventilation to remove moisture, set drinker heights to avoid spills, and keep relative humidity between 50% and 70%. Also, limit dietary salts to reduce water intake. These steps help minimise wet litter in broiler houses.

Ensure consistent feed access, maintain pellet quality, reduce heat stress, and optimize feeder space.
