This article compared two types of hog waterers. Two 1000 head, contract finishing buildings were used for the study. Single source pigs of a startweight 45-50lbs were used and entered the facility the same day. In a three month period, 10000 less gallons of water was used in the room with cup waterers compared to that in the nipple drinker room. Cup waterers, besides being low labour and low maintenance, can reduce the water bill and cost for manure removal. It was determined that bowl waterers made of cast iron with a porcelain finish were impossible to break with normal use.
