Factors affecting chicken water consumption by Cage Equipment for Laying Hens

Cage Equipment for Laying Hens is a professional chicken raising equipment. It consists of many equipments. Among them, water supply equipment is more important. Water is an indispensable element. What are the factors that affect chicken water consumption when using it?
1. The increase of the ambient temperature of the Cage Equipment for Laying Hens will increase the water consumption of the chickens.
When the ambient temperature is below 0 degrees Celsius, the chickens drink less water. When the ambient temperature was between 0 and 20, the water intake of the chickens did not change much. When the ambient temperature is higher than 20C, the water intake of chickens starts to increase. When the ambient temperature is 35, the chickens drink 1.5 times the normal amount of water. But there are signs that sudden changes in ambient temperature have caused the flocks to drink water savagely, which is only temporary and can return to normal after the flocks get used to it.
2. The water intake of chickens increases with age.

The water intake of laying hens will suddenly increase as they reach sexual maturity. Once peak egg production is over, increasing age will no longer have a direct effect on water drinking. During the egg laying period, the higher the egg production rate of chickens, the more water they drink. It is generally believed that for every 10 percent increase in the egg production rate of a chicken, there will be an increase of 12 liters of deceitful water. For example, when the laying rate is 50%, the daily water consumption per layer is 170 liters, and when the laying rate rises to 80%, the daily water consumption increases to 206 liters.

3. The change of the diet composition of the chicken raising equipment has a significant impact on the drinking water of the chicken raising equipment.

In general, an increase in fat, salt, and potassium in the diet will lead to an increase in the chicken's water intake. Chickens fed soybean meal and MBM had significantly higher water intake compared to other egg raw materials. In addition, some fish meal with high calcium content will also increase the water intake of chickens to varying degrees depending on the age, type and working season of the fish used.
