Water conversion efficiency?
Most of us are used to measure and calculate feed conversion ratio (FCR). This article highlights results from a study using low- and high-water efficient chickens. Should we be thinking about water conversion ratio (WCR)? I think it is a great idea because increasing water efficiency for chicken growth will result in lower water needed for rearing birds or be able to raise more birds in places where water is scarce.
How many of you are measuring water efficiency in your farms?

<div>Water-Efficient Chickens: Chickens bred for water conservation grow well even under heat stress, using less water and feed.</div>
Heat Stress Adaptation: These chickens consume less water during heat stress, improving water use efficiency by 55-65%.
May be a good solution for tropical region country like Bangladesh because we suffer a lot at summer time with high humidity and high temperature.
