Feeder and drinker design and placement can have a large impact on production and performance in all areas of a swine barn. This paper gives a summary of various aspects to take into account when choosing a design and placing feeders and drinkers. When placing feeders some of the things to consider include the number of feeding spaces, the quality of the feeder spaces, feeder design and its impact on feed wastage, and whether dry or wet/dry feeders are going to be used. For drinkers the considerations include the type of drinker, number of drinkers, and flow rate.
