Hi,
For some reason, my turkey poult waterer gets really stinky by the end of the day. I have two of the, and rotate them daily, one goes into the dishwasher every evening. I take it apart and wash both the glass bottle top and the metal bottom part.
I have tried soaking it with bleach a couple of times, and with vinegar.
Is this just something that happens with turkey poults? Is there anything I can add to the water to keep it from getting so yucky?
We just had to euthanize a 10 day old turkey poult due to limberneck, so I am concerned the stinky water could be related to botulism. Could stinky water cause botulism? I will start changing the water in the morning, too.
Alas, we don't know if the limberneck was caused by disease or injury.
Thanks,
Michelle
