In spite of high health status, segregated early-weaned (SEW) piglets often show inadequate levels of feed intake immediately following weaning. Changes in housing and social reorganization, as well as the transition from liquid to solid feed, are believed to be contributing factors to the growth check in early-weaned piglets. In addition, a SEW management system requires piglets to be moved to a separate production site, often involving transport in excess of 12 hours. Transport is an additional stressor, involving mixing, crowding, cold, heat, temperature fluctuations, vibration and noise. The stress of weaning and transport may collectively cause dehydration at the end of the transport period. Diarrhea is often a problem at the time of weaning and can further exacerbate dehydration if piglets are not consuming adequate amounts of water. While post transport drinking behaviour is a valuable indication of thirst, a direct measure of water utilization may be more valuable to producers. This research project was designed to find out how much water is utilized by early-weaned transported piglets in each season and if space allowance during transport affects water utilization. The results confirmed that early-weaned piglets, especially in summer, utilized (consumed and spilled) more water on the first day following 24 hours of transport indicating a need to replace water losses. It is important to ensure water is accessible, clean and fresh to encourage drinking. Piglets on this study utilized an average of 5.32 L/pig on the day following a 24 hours transport. On this first day piglets drank most water during summer, an intermediate amount in spring and least following winter transport. This is probably a reflection of seasonal temperatures. As the risk of dehydration increases with increased ambient temperature, producers may benefit from taking measures to reduce truck temperatures in summer. Transport in the cooler parts of the day may be one such measure. Further research is still needed to determine the actual amounts of water consumed and wasted following transport in different seasons.
