A note on the consumption of water by the growing pig at several environmental temperatures and levels of feeding.

The voluntary intake of water by 24 groups of 3 to 6 Large White pigs (range of mean body weight: 21 to 73 kg) was measured during a total of 48 periods lasting 3 to 12 weeks each in a large calorimeter equipped as a pig pen. The calorimeter temperature was controlled between 7° and 33°C and the pigs were fed at levels ranging from 42 g feed/kg body weight per day to maximal intake. The mean water: feed ratios were between 2·1 and 2·7 at temperatures between 7° and 22°C, and between 2·8 and 5·0 at 30° and 33°C. The range of mean water consumption extended from 0·092 to 0·184 litre/kg body weight per day.
