Birds drink water twice or more than the amount of feeds they consume. Birds contain on the average 70 to 90 percent of water in their bodies.
Water is the vehicle to carry the nutrients in the body’s systems. It is used to dissolve and carry medicine sa katawan ng inyong mga ibon. Subalit ito ay ang nutrient na hindi masyadong binbigyan-pansin sa pag-aalaga ng broilers although water can increase or decrease the live weight na nagtatala ng loss or gain sa inyong mga broilers.
When water is contaminated, birds are exposed to contract infection challenge. Clean and potable water for birds ay hindi top-of-mind ng mga farm owners, managers o ng mga caretakers. As a rule of thumb, the birds deserve water that humans can drink.
Sa lahat ng mga isyu na ito tungkol sa inyong mga broilers, maaring makatulong ang Greenline Helpline.
