I agree with my colleagues that this prediction is far away from the real life, once we are already in 2023 and we are not seeing this in practical conditions. Maybe, there is a mistake with the year of 2023. Can be 2032?

Considering that body weight should increase around a third over the one predicted by the Cobb table, which already presupposes a very good development, this prediction seems a bit far off.

IntroductionWater is considered an essential nutrient as it is involved in every metabolic function of the body. It represents about 70% of body weight, and its body content decreases per weight unit as the animal ages, despite the increase in water consumption. Water turnover rate is high compared to that of other compounds (Leeson & Summers, 1997).Water intake is a determinant of broiler per ...

I am enjoying very much all this discussion. Thanks, Dr. Guevara for bringing your paper to this forum.

Dear Dr. Ruiz!
I am very glad on reading your text. It is very clear and you were able to demonstrate your points based on literature review and long experience working in this field. This paper must be saved in all archives that discuss soybean meal quality, to be used, when needed. Thanks for all knowledge shared.

I totally agree, Mike! Sometimes I see people treating the water with no water analysis.

I totaly agree! Water with more than 1000 ppm of TDS can require an amount of acid not practical to adjust the pH. But, as it was said, each case requires analisys of samples of water from the same source in different conditions of the year.
