The amount of water consumed by chickens differs depending on the season, age, and egg production level. Generally, each bird drinks 150 to 250 grams of water per day. When the temperature is high and the egg production rate is high, the amount of drinking water increases, and the amount of drinking water increases when restrictions are imposed. In general, the amount of drinking water in adult chicken is about 1.6 times that of feed intake, and the proportion of chicks is greater. Among environmental factors, temperature has the greatest impact on drinking water. When the temperature is higher than 20°C, the amount of drinking water begins to increase. When drinking water at 35°C, it is about 1.5 times that at 20°C. There is little change in drinking water at 0-20°C.
The Importance of Water in Chicken Breeding
Water is a nutrient necessary for chickens to grow and produce eggs, and has a special role in the normal metabolism of chickens. It is a solvent for various nutrients. Digestion and absorption of various nutrients in the chicken body, discharge of metabolic waste, blood circulation, and body temperature regulation are inseparable from water. If there is insufficient drinking water, the feed digestibility and the chicken production rate will decline, and when it is serious, it will affect the health of the chicken body and even cause death. Tests have shown that laying hens can not drink water for 24 hours, can reduce egg production rate by 30%, and takes 25 to 30 days to return to normal; if the chicks do not drink water for 10 to 12 hours, will reduce the amount of feed intake, and Weight gain can also be affected. After the lack of water, the chicken showed obvious circulatory disturbances. Chickens are more important to food than food. They can live for 10 days or longer after they are cut off. However, if the water shortage is too long, their lives will be threatened.
