80% into house = 19,669 gallons(would fill this pool twice)

WATER CONSUMPTION HAS DOUBLESINCE 1985
“ Since between 70-80 % of the water consumedby the birds end up in the air and litter in a poultry house this means that today’s broiler growers have to get rid of nearly twice the amount of moisture as they did in 1985 if they want to maintain proper litter conditions. “
