survey of water used in poultry units in noorabad city of Fars province and it s neighboring rural areas

Background and Objectives: The quality of drinking water is an important factor that may affect on broiler performance. This article discusses some of the most common factors that impact on poultry units water quality.Materials and Methods: Total hardness, pH, TDS, chlorine, calcium, magnesium and sodium of water were evaluated. The present study was conducted with 3 replications for each analysis. Results were expressed as mean± standard deviation. To analyze the data was used with spss software version 11.Results: The highest amounts of total hardness (1111 ± 2552 ppm), calcium (583 ± 2550 ppm), TDS (1318 ± 155 ppm), sodium (251 ± 2550 ppm) and chlorine (423 ± 1.22 ppm) belonged to the water of the Bajgah area. In talkohneh the amount of magnesium in water (281 ± 2555 ppm) was significantly higher than in other areas. Water pH in Nourabad (0515 ± 25222) was less than other areas and was neutral.Conclusion: In terms of total hardness, Damghanat water was more suitable for poultry drinking and avicultures than other areas. Water TDS of each 1evaluated areas was appropriate. In Damghanat and Arabkhalifehsofla, amount of water calcium was more suitable. In Malmahmoud, Fahlyan and Talkohneh the amount of water magnesium was more than a threshold for poultry. Gazergah has the most suitable water chlorine status. Water sodium was more than 52 ppm in all areas except Kalgah. less than 351 pH decreases yield of the poultry. pH in any area was less than 153.
