Ziggity Systems Inc. has made it easy for poultry producers to monitor and improve the quality of the water in their drinker lines with the transparent pipe kit. The kit is easily retrofitted onto existing Ziggity drinker lines. Once installed, water in the drinker lines can be visually monitored for contaminants such as biofilm, sediment and trapped air.

Ziggity Systems transparent pipe kit is an early warning indicator for: poor sanitation/biofilm, poor water filtration, trapped air, interventions that were not evenly dispersed or dissolved.

With the transparent pipe kit, debris getting past an ineffective filter can be observed, alerting producers to inspect the filtration system. During the production cycle when interventions are required, the transparent pipe kit allows for visual inspection inside the drinker line to confirm that the intervening materials are fully dissolved and evenly dispersed – which allows the producer to correct problems and improve the efficacy of the intervention.

The simple, easy-to-use water management tool is unique to Ziggity Systems and is compatible with any Ziggity Ace, Big Ace, Big Z or 1” PVC pipe system for all bird species and all bird applications – including floor and cage watering systems.

“A watering system is a key investment, and we urge producers to make use of this resource to be sure that investment is operating correctly for maximum performance,” according to the Ziggity technical team.

The transparent pipe kit can be installed directly out of the Ziggity regulator, directly into the Ziggity end assembly or any other location on the drinker line. They are available through authorized distributors of Ziggity products.

Ziggity Systems Inc. has made it easy for poultry producers to find the support they need when installing Ziggity products or replacement parts on their poultry drinker lines.

The growing video series features short instructional videos such as:

• How to install Ace clip-on brackets
• How to install support pipe sections
• How to install clip-on saddles
• How to install floor Big Ace/Big Z clip-on brackets
• How to assemble T-Max drinkers

To effectively manage your watering system, it’s important to understand how water usage involves both bird consumption and drinker spillage, and how these factors affect production. First in a series on watering system management concepts.

A number of factors can negatively impact return on investment, but corrosion is probably the most serious.

A lack of salt in the diet, or too much salt, can harm the flock and production.

The importance of managing the watering system to promote bird health is increasing with the growing opposition to using antibiotics as growth promoters.

Poultry watering system components are primarily comprise of various types of plastic. The use of plastics in the watering systems has many advantages, including the abililty to withstsnd the corrosive atmosphere common to poultry operations.

Ziggity describes specific steps producers can take with their watering systems to improve return on investment.

Ziggity is the only company whose sole focus is on poultry watering.

Elevated levels of ammonia in the poultry house can result in a wide range of problems for poultry producers

Biofilm is an often overlooked and misunderstood threat to poultry flocks

The better you understand how and why birds drink water, the better you can provide for their needs and produce more profitable flocks.

Five ways to maximize the benefits of an enclosed watering system.

Growing a successful and profitable broiler flock requires diligent planning and management especially in preventing diseases and other conditions that harm the birds.

Gravity-controlled water tanks provide an excellent solution to the challenges of unreliable electric power and intermittent water supply

Water quality from wells plays an important role in flock performance.

The route to improving flock performance lies in good litter management.

Common mistakes producers make concerning their watering systems.

The watering system and how the farmer manages it determine many of the conditions in a parent stock operation.

Return on investment, not the up-front cost of a new barn, is the most important aspect to consider when building a new facility

Many of the decisions a poultry farmer is asked to make can carry unintended consequences that can hurt the bottom line
