Water storage tank calculator for poultry farms.
Size the backup water storage a farm needs from bird numbers, peak daily consumption and the days of supply you want to hold.

How to read this result
Based on: Birds on site 100000 birds · Peak drinking water per bird 0.35 L/day · Evaporative cooling water 0 m³/day · Days of backup storage 2 days · Single tank size 50 m³
Important: This is a preliminary planning result derived from the values you entered, intended for early project scoping and RFQ preparation — not for final engineering or husbandry design.
- Bird type, age and target weight
- Ambient temperature — intake rises sharply in heat
- Drinker type, line layout and working water pressure

What does this poultry calculator estimate?
It estimates preliminary daily and peak water requirements for a commercial poultry flock from bird numbers and the intake assumptions you supply. Use it to size storage, supply lines and backup capacity early in a project and to brief suppliers. Actual intake varies with bird type, age, feed and ambient temperature and should be verified locally.
What can change the result?
- Bird type, age and target weight
- Ambient temperature — intake rises sharply in heat
- Drinker type, line layout and working water pressure
- Water quality, filtration and any treatment losses
- Cooling water demand where evaporative cooling is used
- Bird count is not a complete poultry-house specification.
- Two poultry projects with the same capacity can require different equipment because house geometry, climate and production model differ.
