Heat stress refers to a series of abnormal reactions caused by the body when the temperature of the livestock and poultry house exceeds the upper limit of the isothermal zone required by the species for a long time, resulting in the disorder of body temperature regulation and physiological function of livestock and poultry. Due to the different types and ages of livestock and poultry, their requirements for ambient temperature and adaptability to high temperature are also different. Therefore, each animal has its own isothermal zone, and livestock and poultry can perform best in the isothermal zone. In general, the isothermal zone of broilers is10 ℃ ~ 28 ℃, 13 ℃ ~ 25 ℃ for laying hens, 30 ℃ ~ 35 ℃ for suckling pigs, 20 ℃ ~ 28 ℃ for piglets, 16 ℃ ~ 26 ℃ for fattening pigs, 16 ℃ ~ 22 ℃ for sows, 14 ℃ ~ 25 ℃ for boars, and the suitable temperature in the delivery room is 22 ℃ ~ 28 ℃. Providing a suitable environment for livestock and poultry is a problem that farmers must pay attention to in the process of daily feeding and management. The occurrence of heat stress will cause varying degrees of adverse effects on feed intake, growth rate, production performance, body immunity, product quality, feed conversion rate of livestock and poultry, and cause a large number of deaths in severe cases.

Clinical Study on Heat Stress of Livestock and Poultry

1. Clinical manifestations of heat stress in chickens:Chickens have no sweat glands and have poor regulation of high temperature. The temperature of chicken coop in summer exceedsAt 28 ℃, the flock will have different degrees of heat stress, showing elevated body temperature, neck stretching and mouth panting, wings opening, lying down less moving; drinking water increased sharply, feed intake decreased significantly, heavy waste food; drainage sample thin feces; egg production decreased, egg weight reduced, egg contents thin, eggshell thin and fragile, shell breakage rate high, soft egg rate increased significantly; chicks and brood chickens showed poor growth and development, and the pass rate and uniformity decreased. If the heat stress lasts for a long time or the temperature in the house exceeds 35 ℃, it will cause the physiological function of the chicken to be disordered, resulting in heat exhaustion and death.

2Clinical manifestations of heat stress in pigs:Pigs start panting every minute50 times, regulate body temperature by accelerating breathing times and relying on lung evaporation and heat dissipation; Food intake decreased, water intake increased, and daily gain decreased. Unwilling to contact each other, prone in a cool place and ventilated place alone; Under heat stress for a long time, the whole body trembles, dyspnea, mucous membrane cyanosis, skin flushing or purple spots, and dry feces are granular. The temperature exceeds 38 ℃, shortness of breath, appetite and desire to drink, high fever, muscle stiffness, until heat stroke death.

So how to prevent heat stress?

In addition to strengthening feeding management, do a good job of cooling measures to add anti-heat stress drugs.

Qingdao Zhongren Animal Drug Co., Ltd. launched a combination product of heatstroke prevention and cooling and heat stress resistance.----Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid,Xia Shuang.

Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid——Summer, the welfare of livestock and poultry

Six major effects:Preventing heat and relieving heat, dispelling wind and dampness, preventing and treating colds, regulating intestines and stomach, strengthening spleen and stopping diarrhea, and improving appetite

Function indications:It has the functions of relieving surface dampness, regulating qi and regulating intestines and stomach, and is used for colds caused by external wind cold, internal injury and dampness or summer injury and heat dampness.

Solution: relieve the surface and eliminate dampness: patchouli oil, dispel wind and cold, dispel dampness and sweat; Pinellia ternate and tangerine peel have the functions of regulating qi and dehumidification; Magnolia officinalis has the functions of eliminating dampness, regulating qi and moistening the lung; Big belly skin improves dampness and qi stagnation, and reduces swelling by running water; Perilla leaf oil and Angelica dahurica can eliminate dampness and clear turb. Regulating Qi and Hezhong: Atractylodes Rhizoma and Poria cocos have the effects of strengthening spleen and moistening, harmonizing and purging; licorice root has the effect of harmonizing.

Xia Shuang——Summer cool into the water, ice cool summer, livestock and poultry favorite"Ice cream"

Raw material composition: PackageVC, menthol, borneol, VB1, antioxidants, stabilizers.

Combination method:

Morning:7-9 o'clock, useHuoxiang Zhengqi Liquid, each bottle of water1000.00 kg-1500.00 kg, in areas with severe hot and humid weather, the amount can be increased according to the actual situation!

Morning10: 00-4: 00 p.m., useXia Shuang, each bag with water400.00 kg-500.00 kg.

Such use can effectively prevent the death of livestock and poultry caused by high temperature and improve the production performance of livestock and poultry.
