    How the Save Water By Saving Flock Hub Works

    An integrated circular system designed to conserve water by protecting poultry flocks, reducing waste, and regenerating resources for sustainable farming.

    5-STEP CIRCULAR MODEL

    1. Water Captured

    Rainwater harvesting • 10kL tanks

    + Solar borehole

    2. Flock Grown

    Solar powered housing •

    Hydroponic fodder growth

    3. Flock Saved

    5-ton solar cold chain •

    Protects 95% of flock

    4. Water Saved

    Nipple drinkers •

    70% less water use

    5. Waste Transformed

    Biogas & compost •

    Zero waste to fertilizer

    Water Saving Impact Formula

    1kg chicken = 4300L water saved

    Compared to conventional poultry production

    1 egg = 200L water saved

    Through efficient feed-to-protein conversion & waste recycling
