Importance of water in poultry production: consumption, quality and temperature
Published:September 1, 2023
Dr. Mário Penz (Cargill) discusses the consequences of not managing water properly and the different factors to consider regarding its quality, during this Engormix interview.
Great topic and well said! Since each farm has a unique water supply and system, producers need access to more than just a “chart” of facts but rather a systematic decision process that will lead them through understanding their specific issues and needs and provide them with the information and tools to make sound decisions based on the most current scientific knowledge available. Poultry Innovation Partnership at the University of Alberta has developed a Mobile-Friendly Web App structured as a decision tree to assess water quality-related risks and provide a risk mitigation report tailored to the specific water inputs.
