Condemnations of Broilers Rise With Winter Stress
Condemnations and down grades at processing plants remain a major problem for the broiler industry with higher losses in colder months. Airsaculitis is the leading cause, often triggered by stress from winter weather and fluctuating temperatures in broiler houses. Birds may consume more feed to keep warm, and a 30 degree daily variation can induce stress. Weather data show fall and winter temperature swings from 16 to 35 degrees daily, guiding producers to gear housing and ventilation to prevent such fluctuations.
