magnetized water as an alternative strategy to improve the poultry production system

There is a demand for new alternative strategies to improve the health and production of poultry. one of these approaches is the magnetization of the drinking water. therefore, this review discussed the different effects of magnetized water on poultry production traits, carcass traits, immune response, antimicrobial activity, blood parameters, and oxidative stress. exposure of water to diverse magnetic fields positively rearranges the chemical structure and consequently improves its quality. broilers that received magnetized water showed an improvement in the body weight gain and feed conversion ratio. layers revealed an increase in egg quantity and quality, and breeders exhibited a rise in the fertility and hatchability parameters. improvement of the dressing and carcass traits has been shown after providing magnetized water. moreover, magnetized water may enhance humoral immunity, decrease the pathogenic microbial load, and increase the beneficial bacterial populations. amelioration in the liver and kidney enzymes and other blood parameters as well as relieving of oxidative stress were also detected in birds supplied with magnetized water. in conclusion, further research in this area and also more encouragement of poultry farmers to treat birds with magnetized water are recommended.
