Summary:
Proper water management is essential for production performance. It is important to do a water audit for determining farm-specific water use, ensure proper placement and height of water nipples, check and adjust flow rates, consider cup/bowl drinkers, use wet/dry feeders in grow-finish, avoid high mineral concentrations, and avoid excessive protein. The adoption of wet/dry feeders, water nipple waste reduction, and drinker height/flow can improve net income by $1.05 per pig.
