Yes,

Daily water intake is determined primarily by daily feed consumption in poultry.

Me parece muy interesante el análisis. Yo agregaría que mejorar el contenido de sólidos no solo depende de genética y nutrición, sino también de la salud y el confort de la vaca. Una dieta con fibra efectiva y buen balance proteína-energía ayuda a evitar acidosis ruminal y depresión de grasa en leche, mientras que la proteína metabolizable suficiente sostiene los niveles de proteína. Además, el monitoreo de las relaciones proteína/grasa en leche es una herramienta práctica para ajustar la dieta a tiempo. En la práctica, pequeños ajustes en alimentación y manejo pueden traducirse en más sólidos, mejor calidad de leche y mayor rentabilidad.

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con la importancia del manejo de la vaca seca. Es clave verla como una inversión y no como un gasto, ya que en estas semanas se define gran parte del éxito reproductivo y productivo de la vaca. Dividir la etapa en vaca seca lejana y cercana permite ajustar la dieta a cada momento, previniendo obesidad, fiebre de la leche y desplazamientos de abomaso. Además, asegurar un correcto balance de energía, fibra y minerales fortalece el sistema inmune y se traduce en vacas más longevas y con mejor persistencia en la lactancia

Yes, poultry birds consume a certain liter of water base on their age and volume of feed consumed

Thanks

1. Feed composition

2. Age of the birds

3. Presence of Diseases

4. Genetic make-up of the birds

5. Breeds of the birds

Speed milling has nothing to do with animal feed production, but rather with industrial manufacturing processes. Speed milling, often referred to as high-speed milling is a machining process performed at high cutting speeds and feed rates using specialized cutting tools and machines.

What is the difference between feed and speed milling?

Thanks for share

Eggshell color is primarily determined by the hen’s genetics, which dictate the type and amount of pigment (protoporphyrin for brown, biliverdin for blue/green). However, environmental factors such as stress, disease, nutritional deficiencies, and the age of the hen can influence the intensity of the color or cause depigmentation, making brown eggs lighter.

🥚 Factors Affecting Egg Shell Colour ?

[Dr.S.Sridhar]

🥚 Key Points – Soft-Shelled Egg Causes & Mitigation

Feed (F):

• Low calcium, phosphorus, or vitamin D₃ → poor shell mineralization

• Solution: Balance Ca:P ratio, add coarse limestone/oyster shell, ensure vitamin D₃ sufficiency

Water (W):

• High salinity or poor water quality → disrupts calcium metabolism

• Solution: Test TDS/salinity, filter or switch water source

Management (M):

• Immature shell gland in pullets or age-related decline in older birds

• Stress (heat, overcrowding, poor lighting) affects hormonal balance

• Solution: Avoid early lay induction, manage flock age, reduce stressors, consider molting

Disease (D):

• EDS, AI, IB, ND → viral damage to shell gland or reproductive tract

• Solution: Vaccination, biosecurity, isolate affected flocks, monitor egg quality.

[AHMED]

Birds consume approximately 1.6 to 2.0 times as much water as feed (on a pound per pound basis); both feed and water consumption steadily increase as a flock ages.
