Learn How One of Australia’s Largest Poultry Companies Saves Over $200,000 p/a

With the aim to keep water waste low and output high, one of Australia’s largest poultry processors approached Waterform Technologies with an enquiry about possible water saving solutions at a large chicken primary processing site.

According to Poultry Hub chickens consume around one and a half to two times more water than feed.

Did you know that even the water that egg-layers drink can be treated to boost calcium content and drastically reduce egg breakage rates?

To increase complexity, the processor is based in country New South Wales which is prone to long periods of drought. This was another clear driver to analyse their water usage with the aim to conserve as much water as possible.

The aim was to reduce the amount of water waste and unnecessary use before investigating the implementation of water recycling.

Waterform Technologies carefully undertook an in-depth analysis of the water usage onsite and in turn, engineered an extensive analysis of where the water management could be improved.

As a result of the implementation of these recommended changes, the poultry processor has now reduced their output by up to 400,000 litres per week, saving them more than $200,000 per year!

Most importantly, the processor is committed to water conservation goals it set out in its Environment and Sustainability Policy, helping to safeguard the future of the local environment and waterways.
