The current heat stress is a challenge for farmers in livestock rearing. Various efforts were made to minimize the negative impact caused by the heat stress. One of the effects is heat stress<\/em>. Heat stress<\/em> this is due to the lack of (negative balanc<\/em>e) between the heat generated by the body and received from the environment with the heat removed from the body of the cattle. Increased temperature and humidity of the environment lead to inhibition of the release of heat from the body of livestock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poultry do not have sweat glands that are used as a defense during heat stress in removing heat from the body. So that when there is extreme heat stress susceptible poultry heat stress<\/em>. Heat stress<\/em> causing a decrease in livestock performance and significant losses for farmers. Handling needs to be done starting from management aspects such as Cage density, air circulation, proper ventilation arrangements, etc. In addition, aspects of the nutritional approach are also important to consider as an effort to reduce the impact heat stress<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of heat stress on feed consumption and chicken performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The normal temperature of a chicken is 40.6-41.7\u00b0C. To be able to maintain a normal chicken body temperature required ambient temperature of 25-28\u00b0C with a humidity of 60-70%. When the ambient temperature is higher, the chicken will begin to experience heat stress<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environmental temperature affects behavior <\/em>livestock mainly feed consumption and drinking water consumption. Tamzil et al.<\/em>, (2013) in his research showed that the increase in ambient temperature has a significant effect on increasing drinking water consumption and reducing feed consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the impact of heat stress leads to physiological disruption, decreased immunity and performance of livestock. Broilers when\u00a0heat stress\u00a0<\/em>decreased performance such as weight,\u00a0feed intake<\/em>\u00a0and swell it\u00a0Feed Convertion Ratio<\/em>\u00a0(FCR). Table 2 shows the decrease in body weight gain, feed consumption and FCR at the time\u00a0heat stress<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutritional strategies during heat stress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nutritional strategies are needed to reduce the negative impact of heat stress <\/em>in poultry. Approaches to manipulation of nutrition when heat stress<\/em>, it also needs to be accompanied by proper feeding management. There have been many studies that review and apply nutritional manipulation approaches during heat stress, among others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
