It must be ensured that it is not contaminated by E. coli and other pathogenic microorganisms. Drink warm water at the same room temperature for the first week, then use deep well water or tap water. Appropriately add 2.5%～5% glucose, brown sugar and multivitamins for broilers in the drinking water in the first 3 days; after the chicks enter the brooding room, they must drink water for 3 to 4 hours and then start the first feeding; the drinking fountains should be placed evenly and at a moderate height. Clean and disinfect 1 to 2 times a day, and the storage time of water tanks and buckets should not exceed 3 days; try to record the daily drinking water amount. If the drinking water amount is abnormal, it is often a sign of abnormal feeding management or disease in the flock.
