During our breeding process, the waterlines of the chicken coops are fully enclosed, so we need to know why the farms often clean the waterlines:

1. Reduce the occurrence of chicken diseases

Regular cleaning of the water line during the breeding period can ensure the cleanliness of the drinking water system throughout the breeding period. Because it is not cleaned for a long time, a lot of dirt, drug residues, algae and other substances often accumulate in the water pipeline, drinking fountains, and water tanks. The water line is full of mucus, which breeds microorganisms and bacteria, which seriously affects the health of the chicken flock. Therefore, clean the water regularly. The line can keep the water quality clean, so as to ensure that the chickens can drink clean water every day and reduce the occurrence of chicken diseases.

2. Improve the uniformity of the flock

Regular cleaning of the waterline during the breeding period can avoid uneven drinking water for the chickens caused by clogged faucets and water leakage from the faucet. Especially in hot summer, insufficient drinking water will cause severe stress to the chickens, so the waterline should be cleaned regularly to ensure that the chickens To ensure the health of the flock and improve the uniformity of the flock, the amount of feed and water consumed should be ensured.

3. Reduce gastrointestinal diseases

If the water line is not cleaned for a long time, the drinking water faucet is blocked and the faucet cannot be closed normally, causing water leakage from the faucet, resulting in moldy litter, and the chickens are prone to enteritis and other diseases after eating.

4. Reduce the difficulty of epidemic prevention

If the water line is not cleaned for a long time, when the freeze-dried vaccines are immunized with drinking water, the drug residues, algae and dirt in the water line will seriously affect the vaccine effect, resulting in immunization failure or greatly reduced immune effect.

 

The role played by acidifiers in farming:

1. Purify drinking water, clean water lines, and prevent biofilm formation

The acidifier reduces the pH value of drinking water, prevents the formation of biofilm, cuts off the living environment of Escherichia coli and other pathogenic bacteria, kills harmful bacteria and mold in water, decomposes biofilm on the pipe wall, and ensures the quality of drinking water. It can inhibit the reproduction of harmful microorganisms in drinking water, reduce the deposition of impurities and the formation of biofilm, and prevent the blockage of pipelines.

2. Reduce the ammonia smell in the house and improve the environment in the house

Acidifiers can increase the activity of digestive enzymes, promote the digestion and absorption of protein, reduce the ammonia smell in the house, and improve the environment in the house.

3. Antibacterial and bactericidal effect

Regulate the balance of intestinal flora and ensure the integrity of intestinal mucosa. In an acidic environment, some beneficial microorganisms, such as lactic acid bacteria, can multiply in large numbers, and their metabolites can effectively inhibit harmful microorganisms, thereby regulating the balance of intestinal flora and reducing the incidence of intestinal diseases.

4. Improve the activity of digestive enzymes and promote feed digestion and absorption

Acidifiers can reduce the pH of the chyme in the stomach by providing exogenous H+, thereby denaturing the protein, activating pepsinogen, creating a suitable pH environment for pepsin digestion, improving its activity, and benefiting the softening of the diet and the decomposition of nutrients.

Protein hydrolyzate and acid chyme in the stomach can stimulate the small intestine to release cholecystokinin-releasing peptide and secretin, thereby stimulating the secretion of the pancreas, slowing down the emptying speed of the stomach, and further promoting the digestion of feed.

Therefore, in the process of aquaculture production, using an appropriate amount of acidifier can not only effectively ensure the safety of drinking water, but also improve production efficiency and economic benefits.
