Abstract
lWenty commercial White Leghorn layer farms in and aroWld Namakkal area, which were getting
drinking water either from bore well or open well were selected for this study. Water samples were collected
at two weeks interval for 20 weeks period and analysed. The results revealed that except the sulphate and
total dissolved solids, chloride, nitrate, nitrite and total hardness were comparatively higher in open well tJum
bore well water. Though the open well water had higher level ofsalts, the salt levels in both the water sources\
were within the safer level except nitrite. Bore well water given layers recorded betterHDEP, HHEP and feed
efficiency when compared to layers getting water from open well. It is concluded that in Nama1dcal poultry
pocket layer farms with bore well water perfonned better than the layer farms with open well water as
drinking source.
