CROWN POULTRY, DUNCAN ’S FARM CASE STUDY FARM BACKGROUND: Duncan ’s Farm is a typical 1970 ’s built chicken farm housing up to 104k broilers which are grown for the restaurant and retail market. Birds are housed in block built sheds using shavings as bedding, pan feeders and nipple drinker lines. Water is supplied from the mains, and prior to the Ximax installation it had been identified that the supplied water quality was good, but that bacterial pick up in the drinker lines was leading to poor bacterial counts in the water at the point of drinking. Prior to install the site suffered with poor FCRs poor bird health and low grading, poor litter leading to FPD and low weights; all issues associated with poor quality water.
