March 31, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 05:34 am IST - NAMAKKAL:

Poultry farmers should continue to provide cold water with balanced amino acids and electrolytes in the feed despite expected drop in temperature over the next three days.

A press release from Agromet Field Unit of Veterinary College and Research Institute and Regional Meteorological Centre, Chennai, said that the sky will be slightly cloudy, and will remain dry.

The maximum and minimum temperatures will respectively be 38 degree Celsius and 26 degree Celsius. The wind speed will be around 6 km an hour, mostly from southeast.

The maximum temperature during day time will go down by 2 to 3 degree Celsius. There will not be heat stress and heat stroke that was experienced in the last week. The slightly increased cloud activity and high winds in the evening will ensure low heat stress to the birds and other livestock.
