Water is the most important nutrient in livestock farming. Nevertheless, its impact on animal health, feed intake, and performance is often underestimated. In addition to sufficient availability, water quality plays a particularly crucial role in maintaining stable production conditions.
Parameters such as pH, water hardness, mineral content, microbial contamination, or biofilm formation can influence the animals’ water intake and impair the effectiveness of vaccines, medications, and water-soluble feed supplements.
As a manufacturer of liquid feed supplements and specialty products for administration via drinking water, MIAVIT has been intensively engaged with water quality and water hygiene requirements for many years. Based on this experience, MIAVIT has compiled the most important findings regarding water quality and its impact on animal health, performance, and product safety into a condensed technical brochure. Here, we provide an overview of relevant water parameters, recommended guidelines, and practical measures for monitoring and optimizing drinking water systems.
If you’d like to learn more about this topic, you’ll find the complete water brochure in our exhibitor profile. We also look forward to speaking with you in person at EuroTier. Visit us in hall 22 booth 44 and talk to our experts about water quality and its impact on animal health and performance in poultry farming.
