Key challenges include rapid evaporation or spillage of liquids leading to inconsistent intake, low-strength gels that collapse, syneresis that clogs feeders and raises contamination or choking risks, and difficulty maintaining stable moisture between feedings in warm brooders—causing dehydration, stress, and slowed growth. An ideal formula needs high gel strength and water-holding capacity under heat, steady moisture release without nutrient leaching, and proven safety for delicate beaks and GI tracts.
A ready-to-mix powder that forms gelatinous crystals to supply water and electrolytes to chicks during long-distance transport, helping prevent dehydration, especially in hot weather.
Yes. It has food-grade certification and independent lab testing for contaminants, with a two-year shelf life when stored properly.
The high-retention gel releases moisture steadily, keeping chicks hydrated without spilling like free water and reducing stress and transport losses.
It’s useful year-round, but particularly beneficial in summer or any high-heat, long-duration transport when dehydration risk is highest.
This depends on box size, stocking density, temperature, and trip duration. Start with a small trial at the recommended mix, monitor consumption and chick condition, and adjust quantity accordingly.
During transport, the gel replaces free water to minimize spillage. After arrival, provide standard access to drinking water as per normal brooding practice.
