Guidelines from my colleague: A science officer located in the caribbean

My colleague who works with an agri research organisation had this to say in response to heat issues:

A number of short term measures are being employed by farmers. Tunnel house ventilation for poultry which assist in manging heat stress, is becoming mandatory in order for broiler enterprises to be successful. Similarly diary farmers have been managing heat stress by keeping animals under shade at all times during the day. As a result cut and carry methods of bringing the food source to the animal, or even allowing them to feed at night are now common practice. On the other hand scientists are examining at breeds that are adaptable to chaning weather, particularly with runminant livestock.
