In the past there were many studies on heat stress and the role of water intake in domestic chicken, showed that feed consumption at 37.8 degree Celsius was only 42 % of that at 26.5 degree Celsius, While water consumption increased to 135 % and body temperature was about 2 degree Celsius higher at 37 degree Celsius than at 26.5 degree Celsius.
When ambient temperature was raised continuously from 26.7 to 40.8 degree Celsius, the peak of water intake raised and the lowest feed consumption occurred after the peak of heat stress.
Heat stress increases excretion of potassium through urine resulting in the decrease in fluence mineral metabolism of broiler and layer.
