Battles Poultry Drink -500 ml (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Bacterial contamination is generally measured as a total viable count, or TVC. The aim should be for fewer than 1,000 colonies per millilitre of water. Both the all-in-one heated unit, and heating platforms, have has a thermostat that will turn itself on when the temperature drops and will keep the water from freezing down to 0F. Automatic Waterer Producers spend a lot of time and money on nutrition and health products to promote the microbial health of the gut, which drives the performance and health of the bird, says Mr Turner. The water system in poultry is also used to administer and dose various vaccines, antibiotic & anti-inflammatory treatments, antiparasitic, organic acids & essential oils, probiotics & supplements as well as concentrated biocides. The ability for water treatment is essential to ensure feed and water consumption for water quality standards.

Our Poultry Drinkers are designed to reduce mess and disease in the coop. The no-drip fittings and top quality Lubing Cup and Nipple outlets prevent leaks and damp, keeping the coop cleaner and drier. The water reservoir is designed to keep water free from contamination, reducing disease and providing fresh, clean water free from dirt, algae and mould.A strong biocide with good antibacterial and antiviral properties, this can effectively remove biofilms.

One of the most important factors in maintaining high water quality is the control of biofilm build-up. This material has a complex carbohydrate structure and can multiply rapidly, especially in places where it is exposed to sunlight. The risk of contamination is particularly great on farms where multi-vitamin treatments are routinely added to the water.Mr Johnston recommends that flushing water systems with a high concentration treatment between each crop should be standard procedure.
