Nowadays, many farmers raise chickens by relying on automaticchicken  battery cagesequipment, but they also need to know some tips about chickens, such as the amount of water they drink and the temperature of drinking water. So what do you need to know about drinking water and drinking water temperature?

1, Drinking water: The intake of food, ambient temperature, chicken size, activity level and egg production will affect the amount of drinking water. When the temperature is high, the amount of drinking water will increase, the egg production rate will be high, and the feed energy will be low, which will increase the amount of drinking water. Therefore, careful observation should be made to increase or decrease the amount of water supplied depending on the chicken body and environmental conditions.

2, drinking water temperature: water temperature is heated with the temperature of the house temperature, when the temperature is very low, the water temperature should be increased, and when the temperature is high, the water temperature should be lowered, so that the chicken can drink water as needed to ensure the water demand of the chicken body. Therefore, when the temperature is low, drinking warm water can improve the feed efficiency. When the temperature is high, the optimal water temperature is 10-12 °C.
