DANGER ZONE TABLE • (quote from University of Maryland Fact Sheet #74) INSIDE TEMP. 70°-80° 80°-85° 90°-95= 9S C -100= 100 c plus . . . INCREASE WATER SUPPLY Use buckets, feed troughs or any means at your disposal to increase water supply because this Is nature’s way of cooling a chicken through the respira tory track. Spread water supply over house as birds crowd around fountains in extreme hot weather. VENTILATION Open up. Install temporary fans. There should be a complete change of air every 4 to 5 minutes. This indicates the fan capacity to use. ROOFS Light colored roofs shed the heat best. In protracted hot spells, whitewashing a black roof may pay off. Sprinkling water on the roof is a great help. USE EXTRA LIGHTING Turn lights on at 2- 3 A.M. so birds can get feed in the coolest part of the 24 hour period. On laying or breeder flocks, double the use of EARLY BIRD HIGH PRODUC ER PELLETS #2O. Reduce scratch or grain. Go back to normal level after hot spell subsides. With layers watch supply of calcium as hot weather effects egg shell quality. Sprinkle oyster shells or whatever source of calcium you arc using over mash in feeders. With broiler flocks in extreme hot weather, moistening the feed is desirable because what the birds need most is extra water. Use less litter in the summer than in the winter so birds can get closer to the cooler floor. MI \\\ i if ! t / ' ** t> t T —•■■—. Busnong, inc. c - > Rohrerstovm, Pa.
