EL NIÑO ISN'T JUST A WEATHER CONCERN.
IT'S A FARM MANAGEMENT CHALLENGE.
When temperatures rise, heat stress can reduce feed intake and affect egg production. Water demand may increase, and unexpected expenses can put pressure on your farm's income.
So, what can you do NOW?
☑ CHECK YOUR WATER SUPPLY. Inspect your water source, storage, pumps, and ni**le drinkers. Make sure water reaches every cage row.
☑ IMPROVE AIRFLOW. Check fans, clear ventilation pathways, and assess whether your poultry house needs additional shade.
☑ MONITOR FEED INTAKE. Track daily consumption and investigate unusual changes. Avoid sudden feed changes without proper nutritional guidance.
☑ TRACK EGG PRODUCTION. Record daily egg output, egg quality, water consumption, and mortality. Changes can help you spot problems early.
☑ PREPARE A CONTINGENCY BUDGET. Set aside funds for possible water supply problems, equipment repairs, and other unexpected operating expenses.
Don't wait for egg production to drop before checking your farm's readiness.
A few preventive checks today may help you avoid bigger problems tomorrow.
