• Development and Application of THI Early Warning Model: A Risk-Graded Alert Mechanism for Heat Stress Based on THI Thresholds

  Heat stress in poultry is closely linked to temperature-humidity index (THI). A THI-based early warning model enables farms to act before birds suffer. The model defines four risk levels: THI < 74 (safe), 74–78 (caution), 79–83 (danger), and > 83 (emergency). Each threshold triggers specific actions—from increasing ventilation to activating cooling pads and adjusting feed…

• Nighttime Feeding and Light Regulation Strategies: Behavioral Intervention to Avoid High-Temperature Periods and Impacts on Growth Performance

  High ambient temperatures suppress feed intake in broilers, reducing growth and feed efficiency. Nighttime feeding combined with adjusted light schedules offers an effective solution. By shifting feeding to cooler evening and early morning hours, birds consume more feed when heat stress is minimal. A light regimen of 4 hours light, 2 hours dark during nighttime…

• EU’s 2027 Cage Ban: How Long Will the Policy-Driven Boom for Floor Rearing Equipment Last?

  The EU will ban conventional cages for laying hens and broilers by 2027. This regulation forces farms to switch to cage‑free systems, primarily floor rearing and aviaries. Consequently, demand for floor rearing equipment—feeders, drinkers, litter management, and ventilation—has surged. Market analysts estimate that the transition affects over 300 million hens in Europe alone. Replacement cycle…
