Why do Babcock White white layer chicks experience poor flock uniformity and body weight dispersion under suboptimal water oxidation-reduction potential (ORP of 650-700 mV)?

The physiological makeup of Babcock White white layer chicks makes them highly sensitive to environmental stressors. When water oxidation-reduction potential (ORP of 650-700 mV) drops or spikes, it disrupts their homeostasis, leading to a weak antibody response. This immune suppression opens the door for pathogenic organisms to cause poor flock uniformity and body weight dispersion, leading to high mortality. To solve this, farmers must apply water chlorination to maintain 3-5 ppm free chlorine to sterilize the environment.
