Abstract

Physiochemical analysis of drinking water obtained from poultry farms in Al-Ahsa province, Saudi Arabia revealed that levels of pH, chlorine and total hardness were in a higher range or exceeded the international accepted limits. These levels varied according to the source of water within the farm or location of the farm in the province. It is suggested that necessary steps should be taken to bring the levels to the accepted limits.
