PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Poultry Puck® is vitaminized water in a gel-delivery system to supply chicks and poults with hydration.
IMPORTANCE
Hydration is a
critical element for the survival of hatchlings during the first 48 hours of life,
particularly during transportation and holdovers.
COMPOSITION
Each Poultry Puck®
provides Water, Maltrin, Carrageenan, and the following Vitamins:
Vitamin A, Thiamine, Vitamin D3, Riboflavin, Vitamin E, Niacinamide,
Vitamin K3, Pyridoxine, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, Folic Acid, and
Vitamin B12.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Poultry Puck®
delivers over 90% of water, which is an optimal means of hydration to
hatchlings. It helps to decrease mortality due to dehydration and
improve the bird comfort during transportation. The presentation in
pre-sliced pucks is ready to use and easy to store. The gel pucks can
also be prepared at the farm or in the hatchery from the Poultry Puck
Premix.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
For hatchlings: during transportation, at arrival in barns, and during holdovers.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
1
gel-puck is for 100 birds. It can be
placed as a whole or in halves or quarters in each shipping tray. Feed only once to the hatchlings.
CAUTIONS
Poultry Puck® is safe to handle. After preparation, it can be stored in a refrigerator (3-7°C) for up to two (2) weeks. DO NOT FREEZE. Use all the pucks once the bag is opened. DO NOT RESTORE AND REUSE.
PRESENTATION
Sliced gel pucks are
available "ready to use." Kits for gel puck preparation: 1 pouch
for 85 g of Poultry Puck Powder and 1 plastic sleeve.
COLOR CODE
Blue, yellow, and black.
ADVANTAGES
Poultry Puck® is a unique
gel delivery hydrating system that allows chicks or poults to stay dry and
comfortable while taking in a clean source of water. The pucks are entirely
consumed during the transportation and in holdovers so there is no messy clean
up afterward. The gel pucks can be
placed in the trays used to transfer birds from the hatchery to the barn. Chicks receiving this method of hydration
can improve livability.
Additionally, the hot water (80°C) used in the preparation
as well as the sealed sausage- like casing helps to keep the pucks commercially
sterile, which is another unique feature of Poultry Puck® not
present in other hydrating products for poultry.
