Abstract
A sample survey was undertaken to know about
water sanitation procedures, water quality status
and production performance of commercial layer
farms in and around Namakkal area. The data
were collected by personal interview method
using pretested questionnaire. The practice of
using water sanitizers like hydrogen peroxide
(two farmers), chlorine dioxide (one farmer) and
ozonization (one farmer) was followed at regular
intervals with routine sanitation procedures by
four farmers alone. The physico-chemical composition
of drinking water lied within the normal
range whereas microbiological quality of water
exceeded the normal range. Better production
performance was observed in sanitized farms
compared to non-sanitized farms.
