THE STUDY HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT IN 2011 ON A LARGE POULTRY FARM IN ISRAEL. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH IS TO ASSESS THE IMPACTS OF DRINKING WATER OF PHYSICAL WATER IMPROVEMENT SYSTEMS.

 

Starting point

The AQUA4D ® system is installed in drinking water for chickens. The study focused on the analysis of six production batches.

Two identical houses on the same site were selected to perform the test. AQUA4D® physical water treatment system is installed in the second house, while one house is used as a control.

The purpose of the test is to compare the agricultural performance of two houses for 6 productions.

EUROPEAN INDEX

Before: 222

After: 248

HOUSING EFFICIENCY INDEX

Before: 372

After: 416

RESULTS

As a result, the chicken coop using water treated with the AQUA4D ® system achieved the following results:

11.8% increase in the European index

5.1% reduction in nutritional index

Decrease in feed use (Fcr) from 2.16 to 2.05

The elimination of lime and Biofilm has a positive effect on animal health, thanks to the AQUA4D ® system, agronomic performance has been improved.

NOTES

Calculation formula

Decrease in feed use (FCR) = Food purchased / Weight sold

European Index = (Average weight per chick x 10) / (FCR x Average age of animals sold)

House productivity index = (meat produced per m2) / (FCR x average age of animals sold)
