Shade for Poultry Helps in Products
Temperatures over 90 degrees will decrease growth and egg production. Chickens may die at 105 degrees. A good shade will reduce temperatures 15 to 20 degrees. A high shade is better than a low one for livestock. It gives a better opportunity for heat to escape from the body.
