Abstract
Poultry meat production has shown much higher growth than any other type of meat
production. The hot regions of the world have probably the greatest potential for further
growth since the level of poultry meat consumption is still very low. There are several
constraints to the future development of the poultry meat industry in the hot regions of the
world. The availability of adequate supplies of grain and protein supplements necessary for
the production of feeds is another major constraint for development. The most obvious
constraint to high production regions is climate. High temperature, especially when coupled
with high humidity, imposes severe stress on birds and leads to reduced performance. Certain
nutritional manipulations and feeding practices that have been found to be helpful in reducing
heat stress in broilers.
