Clean clear water, good enough for human consumption. pH should be 6 to 7.

A pH of 6.0 to 6.8 is preferred for broiler production, but birds can tolerate a pH range of 4 to 8. A pH range of greater than 8 could cause reduced water consumption. Alkalinity: Alkalinity is caused by calcium carbonate, bicarbonate or sulfate.

Water with a pH lower than 7 is acidic, and water with a pH higher than 7 is alkaline. Acidic drinking water can affect digestion, corrode watering equipment, and impair the use of water-soluble vaccines and medications. Poultry prefer water with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8 but can tolerate a pH range of 4 to 8
