What would happen if poultry birds are larger in size and have no summer adaptation capacity? In order to get small sized poultry birds, having summer adaptability, what method will be employed?
In the case of large-size poultry birds with no summer adaptation, the egg production will decline significantly and the cost to keep the poultry farm will go up. As no summer adaptation will lead to extra cost of maintaining the farm temperature and creating a controlled environment. The large size of the birds will require a huge quantity of diet in order to get the necessary nutrients and fibre.
Crossbreeding of birds is done to achieve a breed that is smaller in size and adaptable towards summer.
