Broiler Chickens vs REVITALIZED WATER
Broiler Chicken trials were performed in the fall of 2012 at a Georgia location growing broilers.
There were a total of 4 broiler houses consisting of 21,000 birds/house.
In house 1 & 2 there was 1 Verity Revitalized Water Unit installed/house to test the efficacy of any liveability and weight gain differences. Feed conversions could not be gathered as these birds did not belong to the producer as feed trucks delivered to all 4 houses at the same time.
Flock statistics were as follows from birds placed 10/22/12 and loaded out 12/18/12 or a 58 day grow-out period.
