Author(s) : ROSS E., HERRICK R. B.
Type of article: Article
Summary
A STUDY WAS CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF EVAPORATIVE COOLING ON LAYING HENS IN A TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT OF HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY. THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE AVERAGED 3.0 K LOWER AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 15% HIGHER IN THE UNIT COOLED BY EVAPORATION. NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES WERE NOTED AMONG ANY OF THE PRODUCTION PARAMETERS MEASURED, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A NUMERICAL ADVANTAGE FOR THE EVAPORATIVELY COOLED UNIT IN EGG PRODUCTION, EGG SIZE, EGG SPECIFIC GRAVITY, CRACKED EGGS, AND MORTALITY.
