The drop in temperatures and change in seasons brings new challenges to caring for the birds entrusted to your care.
Cold temperatures are the number one cause of stress during brooding, meaning extra care must be taken to get chicks off to a good start.
The seasonal movement of migratory waterfowl can put poultry flocks at risk for exposure to Avian Influenza (AI) and other poultry diseases, making biosecurity critical.
