Experimental Investigations on Quality of Water Used in Poultry Farm Using Sensors

Abstract

Water plays an important role in flock’s performance as it is a most important nutrient. Layers can survive longer without food than they can without water. For better performance of layers, water is essential and it should be of good quality. Water quality refers to chemical, physical, biological, and radiological characteristics. A water quality testing system is developed for sensing different chemical and physical characteristics. Experimentation is carried out to test the water quality of different water sources in poultry farm. The sensed values are compared with laboratory experimental results. The system is cost effective and provides real-time monitoring.
