Low temperatures in broiler farming significantly slow down the growth of poultry, provoke death and disease, reducing the profitability of production. Therefore, immediately after the delivery of daily young animals in the room mounted infrared lamps, electric mats or floor heaters (brooders).

Regarding the temperature regime, the technologists recommend:

• from 1 to 5 days of life - 32-35 °C;
• from 6 to 10 - 30-32 °С;
• from 11 to 20 - 26-28 °С;
• after the 21st day - 20-24 °С;
• a week before slaughter, the temperature in the poultry house is reduced to 16 °С.

If you grow a couple of dozen broilers, then to heat the chickens use hot water bottles, ordinary incandescent lamps, suspended at a height of 30 cm from the chicks.

Raising laying hens is similar to raising broilers. From 15 weeks (from 98 days) the temperature in the room is reduced to 15 ° C. The temperature will promote egg-laying.

Adults, healthy, laying hens rush, feel active, completely eat food at a temperature within + 7 ... + 12 degrees.

The temperature regime in the pigsty clearly depends on the age and economic use of the animals:

• newborn piglets - 30-28 °C. Lowering the temperature to 21 °C leads to hyperthermia and death of young animals within 48 hours after farrowing;
• weaned piglets - 18-20 °С;
• pigs repair and on rearing — 19-15 °С;
• fattening — 17-15°С;
• sows are pregnant — 15-18°С;
• lactating sows — 18-20°С.

The most difficult to form two temperature zones in the machine of a lactating sow with a nest. The presence of sows in comfortable for piglets 30-28 ° C leads to redness, agalactia (cessation of milk secretion). Therefore, a separate corner for newborn piglets with local heating (infrared lamps, electric mat) is fenced off separately in the machine.

This is the most temperature-sensitive bird. Poor thermoregulation on the first day is one of the most common causes of bird death. To warm the day-old chicks actively use carbohydrates of their own liver and residual yolk. After depletion, there is a shortage of glucose, starvation of the brain and death.

To avoid fatal consequences, it is recommended to follow the temperature regime:

• in the first four days, the young should grow while maintaining the temperature at 35-37 °С.;
• by the tenth day, this temperature drops to 30 °С ;
• then every two days the air temperature in the poultry house decreases by two or three degrees;
• from 30 days the temperature in the poultry house with turkeys 22 °С.

Despite the thick down and furry rabbits are incredibly demanding in terms of temperature. Adult rabbits kept in the shadows can easily withstand changes in ambient temperature in the range of -30 - +30 ° C. The main thing is that the cage was shaded from direct sunlight. The optimum temperature is 10-18 °С.

As for the rabbits, they leave the nest at the age of 20 days. By this age, lowering the ambient temperature to 10 ° C leads to the death of young animals.

The bird needs similar growing conditions, including temperature modes:

• the first week — 33-28 °С;
• the second week — 26-18 °С;
• from the third week until slaughter — 18-16 °С

At an elevated temperature, ducklings have difficulty breathing with open beaks, refuse food, often approach the drinker - so the temperature should be reduced. Conversely, when the heat is not enough, the ducklings in the heat points gather in a heap, climb on each other, squeak - in this case it is necessary to raise the temperature.
