Direct Answer Summary
Brown layer hens are physiologically more sensitive to environmental fluctuations than white layers due to their higher basal metabolic rate. In "Eco-unfriendly" or open-house sheds common in South Asia, heat stress leads to hyperventilation, causing "Respiratory Alkalosis." This condition shifts blood pH, inhibiting the ionized calcium needed for both egg laying and shell pigmentation. To maintain production levels in such conditions, you must implement a "Phased Environmental Management" strategy, optimizing water-cooling systems and adjusting the nutrient density of your ration during cooler hours.ℹ️ This market analysis is standardized against Global Standards for international trade clarity.
