Did you know that you, as a livestock farmer, can do a lot to ensure that your animals ingest sufficient clean drinking water? This is called drinking water management. Smart and careful drinking water management reaps its benefits in your animal housing unit. It will, for example, guarantee less water wastage, a better feed conversion, and a reduction in antibiotic use.

Chickens drink up to no less than twice as much as they eat and consist of approximately 70% water. Water plays a role in all critical processes in their bodies. It is therefore crucial that they have access to fresh, cool and clean drinking water. The probability of disease, infections and a higher percentage of mortality will decrease by correctly taking care of the hygiene of your drinking water system and the quality of the drinking water in your animal housing unit.
