Good quality drinking water

Birds, at all ages, must always have easy access to clean, fresh and good quality drinking water. Good quality drinking water is clean, clear, fresh, tasteless and free from contaminants. 

The quality of the drinking water should be regularly checked as contaminated drinking water can cause serious disease problems. Never forget the importance of water: when birds don’t drink, they won’t eat and cannot grow or produce! 

Often neglected as a source of nutrients, but water is a very important nutrient for all production animals. 

Birds consume at least 1.6 times more water than feed, with an increased amount during the period of reproduction organ development. 

The birds should be able to easily find, access and drink the water, besides they should be able to drink as much as they need at any time. 

Daily water monitoring is therefore an easy and clear monitoring tool.
