What Will Be Caused If The Management Of Chicken Water Dispenser Is Not in Place?
Apr 25, 2022
In winter, the main purpose of ventilation is not temperature management but air quality control: we monitor the relative humidity and adjust the ventilation accordingly to reduce the moisture in the padding. If the water content of the padding is not well controlled by the water dispenser, the ammonia level in the house will increase, which will bring various hidden dangers, such as the health of the chickens is affected, the quality of the claws is reduced, and the production performance of the whole flock is reduced.
In practice, a common factor that makes the ventilation work more difficult -- and the cost increases -- is that the management of the drinking water system is not in place. We provide water for chickens to drink. If our drinking water is wasted for any reason, that is, it falls on the bedding and is not drunk by the chickens, the producers will suffer losses in both the weight of the chickens on the market and the operating costs.
Waste water can only be removed by increasing ventilation or by means of padding machinery. Both of these methods will increase the production cost.
Even a well managed poultry farm needs to remove an astonishing amount of water. Chickens need a lot of water to ensure their reasonable and effective growth, but usually about one-third of the water pumped through the drinking water system is converted into the live weight of chickens. The remaining moisture either remains in the bedding or is vented out of the henhouse.
