Relevance and methods. In the summer period heat stress becomes one of the most serious problems of industrial poultry farming. At its core heat stress is an imbalance between the flow of heat from the environment and the release of energy by the bird's body. This pathology brings tangible economic losses and can cause a massive mortality of the poultry. The article describes a set of measures to minimize the negative impact of extremely high ambient temperatures on the poultry. Results. To deal with the negative effects of heat stress, it was proposed to lower the pH of drinking water by adding the Complicid’s organic complex of acids, and to increase the concentration of nutrients in the poultry diet it was recommended to carry out medication with Libecrin and Butacyfol.
