Effect of Waterline Height on Broiler Growth In Chicken House

Now the conditions in the chicken coop are getting better and better. the necessary equipment in the chicken poultry farming cage are breeding equipment, chicken coop, dung cleaning equipment, feeding equipment, etc. all have certain effects on the growth of broilers. water is the source of life, and the growth of chickens cannot be separated from boiled water. some farms use waterline to feed chickens. the height of waterline should be adjusted regularly. if the adjustment is not timely, the drinking water quantity of chickens will be insufficient, which will affect the growth performance of chickens. so what effect does the height of waterline in the chicken coop have on the growth of broilers?

For chicks in broiler cages, the waterline should be placed at the lowest position, with nipples 8 ~ 10 cm away from the padding, and there is a waterline for receiving water cups, which are closely attached to the padding, and the nipples are generally flush with the chicks' eyes. If the waterline is too high, the chicks will have reduced intake and daily gain due to their short stature, lack of water or insufficient drinking water.

After 3 days of age, the chicks in the chicken house begin to adjust the height of the waterline. According to the age and growth status of the chicks, the height of the waterline should be adjusted in time, once every two days. It is appropriate for the chickens to stand and naturally stretch their necks to drink water. At this time, it is necessary to avoid the low water level, which will reduce the amount of drinking water for chickens. The correct way for chickens to drink water is to stand up and stretch their necks naturally. Because the water line is too low, chickens should lower their heads to drink water.

In the process of lifting the head of a chicken from the lower part to the higher part, some of the water in the mouth will flow out, resulting in insufficient drinking water. In the early stage, the daily gain of broilers would decrease, the intake of feed would decrease, and the broilers would be depressed. If the water shortage is too long, the chicken will lose 10% of its water, which will lead to metabolic disorder. If the water loss reaches 20%, the chicken's life will be threatened and it will be on the verge of death.

The waterline of the chicken house will affect the health of the chicken and cause serious damage to the production performance of the chicken, mainly manifested in that it affects the appetite of the chicken and is unwilling to eat feed; Severe water loss in chickens leads to a decline in immunity and disease resistance, which is easy to cause diseases.To clean up the Chicken Breeding Equipment in a timely .
