Is there a precise quantity (litres) of water each poultry bird must consume daily?

No, there isn’t a single precise quantity of water each poultry bird must consume daily because water intake varies significantly based on age, weight, environmental temperature, and diet. A general guideline is that birds drink roughly twice as much water as feed by weight, but this ratio can double or quadruple during hot weather. For example, a broiler’s daily water intake ranges from approximately 50-100ml at one week old to over 1.5 liters at five weeks, increasing even more in extreme heat.

Yes,
Daily water intake is determined primarily by daily feed consumption in poultry.
-
Yes, poultry birds consume a certain liter of water base on their age and volume of feed consumed
-
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.

In my experience, there is no ideal chart, but feed consumption can be used as a basis. The bird should consume twice as much water as the amount of feed consumed.
