Better growth and feed conversion
“Nutrition is important for the chickens, but what about water? Chickens drink twice as much water by weight as they eat feed. Pure water is therefore vital. ” Poultry farmer Erik van Veldhuisen has been using the Freshwater water devizer for his chicks since the end of last year. “The results are absolutely excellent. The first couple did very well. Feed conversion and growth are better than before. ”
Erik van Veldhuisen from Renswoude is a poultry farmer with a heart for his chickens. He gives his chicks a lot of space and takes good care of them. "That is better for the chicken and better for the consumer." He tries to keep the entire chain, from breeding to sale, as small and sustainable as possible and sells his chickens with the Beter Leven quality mark directly to the customers in the area. “I would like to have the customers in my yard. I want to show where their chicken meat comes from and how we take care of the animals. ” Erik has kept 25,000 slow-growing free-range broilers since March 2015, and the company can be followed at www.kipvandeboer.nl.
Excellent growth and feed conversion
“I came into contact with Vekostar through a colleague. I was informed about the Freshwater water devizers and that sounded very interesting. Water is such an important part of keeping chickens. More than 200,000 liters of water pass through the barn. If the water is bad and impure, you will notice this immediately from the growth. Good water is better for the health and growth of the chickens, it leads to better feed conversion. ”
All the water in the barn now comes in via the Freshwater water devizer. Erik: “I have now had two couples completely on this water and the results are definitely good. This couple - that is 25,000 chickens - has done very well. Now I am in the third couple and here I see improvements compared to before. Thanks to the ionization of the water, for example, there is much less caking in the pipe. You can see that almost immediately. It may be too early to speak of a structural success, but it looks very good. The results are excellent in growth and feed conversion. ”
Structured and ionized water
The Freshwater water devizers structure and ionize the water. This purifies the water continuously and increases the absorption of oxygen, minerals and nutrients. Plants, animals and people benefit from increased hydration, which leads to a more efficient absorption of nutrients. High-energy, highly oxygenated water inhibits the growth of pathogens and reduces pathogenic pressure. The positive effect of Freshwater water devizers has been scientifically proven.
