How to determine the best location for indoor drinkers?
The daily water consumption by pigs depends on their live weight, the quality of the food taken in, the composition of the ration and their physiological condition (lactation, diseases, stress, etc.). The welfare, health and growth of the pigs is strongly determined by the physicochemical quality of the water they have at their disposal, the bacteria it may contain, its taste and smell. The control of water spillage is the second issue when choosing and installing drinkers. Please contact us for personal advice.
Installation height and flow rate
Location of the drinkers
- Avoid corners and sufficiently space out the water points (competition, aggression)
- Not right next to the feed trough (risk of crowding)
- Clearly visible from the alley for easy control and cleaning
- A slippery floor in a straw area reduces the drinking frequency and the water intake. Provide drainage to avoid soiling the litte
