Sudden dead of birds especially broilers is common during heat season due to heat stroke. You can manage your birds this period by:
✓proper management of litters material- you will need to change your litters earlier than before. You must put off ammonia buid up always
✓supply fresh water at noon - don't just say they have water, you might need to serve cold fresh water at noon. You can put ice block in their water if you have access to it
✓server good multivitamin like Mia vit. Streekstrock from @Jameskaagrick is very essential this period
Using garlic probiotics extract will be of great help this season
✓ Avoid long withdrawal period of water prior to vaccination this season
