Sistema de controle da temperatura de água de bebedouro de aves

Abstract

One of the most influential factors in the management of broiler chickens is the availability of good quality water, this factor becomes important as the consumption of water in an ideal temperature is essential for the proper performance of the bird. This work develops a project for the cooling water, such that it passes through a cooler to addressing the water cooler at an ideal temperature for consumption of animals. The lines of water cooler are installed sensors for monitoring the water temperature. When the sensors indicate that the temperature is not within a predetermined standard range, there is the renewal of the same. In the cooling water is made its reuse, thereby avoiding the wastage. This design has proven effective for maintaining the water temperature in the lines of troughs, but no significant differences were found for bird performance.
