How to deal with stress in livestock and poultry easily?

In daily feeding and management, livestock and poultry will inevitably be affected by the external environment and produce stress reactions. Some stresses are pathogenic, and some are even fatal. So, what is animal stress? How to deal with it?

Stress response is the sum of non-specific responses produced by the body to various abnormal stimuli from the outside or inside. All animals will be affected by stress. When stress occurs, clinical symptoms such as listlessness, loss of appetite, mania, reduced feed conversion rate, reduced production performance, weakened immunity, etc. may occur. In severe cases, it may even cause shock and death.

The following factors mainly cause stress in livestock and poultry:

At the turn of spring and summer, stress in livestock and poultry is at a high incidence stage. In daily feeding and management, we must pay attention to reducing stressors, and we must also focus on improving the health of the body and improving the immunity and anti-stress capabilities of livestock and poultry!

01  environmental stress

Environmental factors that cause stress reactions in livestock and poultry include: sustained high or low temperatures, sudden changes in temperature, poor ventilation, severe noise, low or high air humidity, high ammonia concentration, large accumulation of dust, etc. Avian stress response.

02  Managing stress

Management factors that cause stress reactions in livestock and poultry include: serious imbalance of feed nutrition and sudden changes in feed quality, excessive stocking density, mixed breeding of livestock and poultry of different ages or batches, catching, weaning, changing feed, changing groups, Stress response caused by human disturbances such as transportation and fright.

In order to reduce stress in livestock and poultry, we must first reduce stressors in the environment and management, and secondly improve the anti-stress ability of animals:

01  Improve environmental conditions

Improve environmental conditions and provide animals with a clean, hygienic and comfortable environment according to the growth habits of livestock and poultry at each stage to ensure that livestock and poultry bodies are in a suitable growth state; reduce external environmental stimulation to animals, such as preventing overcooling, overheating, and fright , noise, etc.; preventing various environmental pollution, timely removal of feces, and elimination of mosquitoes and flies will help livestock maintain good health and enhance their ability to resist stress.

02  Regulate feed nutrition

After livestock and poultry are stressed, the metabolic activity of the body increases, which will suddenly increase the demand for nutrients such as vitamins, amino acids, and sugars. Therefore, during the stress period, it is necessary to ensure that pigs can obtain sufficient amounts of vitamins, amino acids, trace elements, etc. Nutrients. At the same time, natural plant feed raw material Poria cocos crude extract can be added. The triterpenoids and polysaccharides in Poria cocos have a variety of physiological activities, which can calm the nerves, diuresis and swelling, regulate immunity, and resist oxidation, thereby reducing stress response. Harm caused by livestock and poultry.

At the turn of spring and summer, stress in livestock and poultry is at a high incidence stage. In daily feeding and management, we must pay attention to reducing stressors, and we must also focus on improving the health of the body and improving the immunity and anti-stress capabilities of livestock and poultry!
