Poultry are particularly sensitive to heat stress. Their thermoregulation mechanisms are limited and even brief heat strokes can have a strong impact on farm productivity. In this context, CCPA Group proposes dedicated solutions acting not only on zootechnical performances, but also on the comfort and well-being of poultry in the face of hot weather conditions.
Designed for complementary use, FeedStim® Poultry and Thermo®Poultry solutions can be used to respond to different forms of heat stress: continuous or acute.

Heat stress represents a major challenge for livestock, affecting their wellbeing and productivity significantly. When temperatures rise, animals seek to regulate their body temperature by reducing their food intake, resulting in a series of complex physiological responses. These responses include alterations in breathing patterns, blood gas imbalances and reduced blood flow to essential organs, thereby contributing to heat removal.
