Different approaches to alleviating
the negative impact of heat stress predominance that resulted from
the Earth`s surface temperature change have been
critically reviewed, with resultant effect on poultry
productivity, health, economy, meat safety and food
security, among others. Genetic modifications,
managerial strategies, feeding pattern and
technological approaches have undoubtedly exerted
beneficial effects on heat stress predominance in
poultry. However, they are limited in production
efficiency as regards the demand of the 21st Century
poultry farming systems, because they do not
consider the altered acid-base balance specific to
heat-stressed birds. Therefore, it becomes
imperative to adopt a much more homeostatically stable
alternative, whose beneficial effect on poultry
health, performance, yield and economic integrity would
not be compromised, in attempt to meet the
global animal protein demand of the century. An ideal
balance of dietary electrolytes is essential in
poultry rations, especially under high environmental
conditions.
