Poultry Industry Solution
Total Hygiene Leads to Increased Productivity and Cost Savings
Water
Just like humans, Poultry consume water. Although the amount of water poultry animals drink varies and greatly depends on the season, temperature, age and weight of the bird. The average laying bird will drink up to 500ml of water a day. Water is a critical component, and it is considered to be the most important nutrient. Like humans, Poultry require good health and wellness. Generally the common perception about water is that “Water is Water”. However, while water that is consumed by humans is generally treated with a process in which certain elements of water are removed to ensure its safety, cleanliness or palatability, water provided to poultry is seldom treated. The importance of water quality is a vital concern in the production and health of poultry.
Disinfection and Sanitation
Diseases and infections have always been a major concern to the poultry industry–especially in the hatchery. Fortunately, microbial contamination can be prevented and controlled using proper management practices and modern health products. Kirkmayer’s technology offers a comprehensive eco-friendly and cost effective program that starts with the water treatment and continues through to the barns
Providing a clean and germ free environment is a prerequisite for good animal health and high productivity. Studies indicate that germs costs energy to the farm animal, energy that should be used for animal growth and the production of higher quality animal products. Fewer micro-organisms reduce the stress on the animal’s immune system and the risk of diseases.
Farms must take a “Proactive Prevention of Pathogens Plan Approach” to protect its assets as without a plan in place, poultry farms will become toxic with germs and bacteria which will lead to major problems and costs associated through disease containment and elimination, reduced productivity and animal loss.
