Line Height Management
The two most important procedures for the Roaster Nipple are (1) height of drinker from the floor in relation to the bird and (2) amount of pressure in the system (water height in the standpipe). Both of these procedures must change during the growout cycle. The following instructions detail the various changes of the cycle.
- The first two days the chick should reach the trigger pin at about a 30-45° angle.
- Raise the drinker with the winching system so that the next 5 days the chicks are reaching the trigger pin at about a 60° angle.
- Check every 2-3 days thru the balance of the growout and raise the drinker if needed so that the birds are reaching at about a 70-80° angle approach to the bottom of the trigger pin.
