Impact of feeders and drinker devices on pig performance, water use, and manure volume

Results: In Experiment One, water disappearance (L per pig per day) was 4.49 for the wet/dry feeder versus 6.06 for the dry feeder plus nipple drinker. In Experiment Two, water disappearance was 4.90 L per pig per day for the swinging drinker versus 5.50 for the gate-mounted drinker. In Experiment Three, water disappearance was cooling was provided to all pens of pigs within a facility by means of a thermostatically controlled drip system with intermittent dripping initiated at 27°C (80.6°F). Water used for cooling was not metered, but the same system serviced all pens within a building with one control and a similar setup in each pen.
