Why does the amount of feed consumed vary with temperature?

8 views Published 2 hours ago Duration 01:33 Source: TunisieVet

In hot weather, a hen eats considerably less because her body prioritizes heat loss over digestion: above approximately 30 °C, feed intake can drop by 20 to 30%, leading to reduced egg production and thinner shells due to insufficient calcium and energy intake.
