Drinker, Quail Eggs

A Leaking Pig Drinker

Tip: Check your pig drinkers daily as water is very important for them. A slight change in water pressure can affect the appetite of the pigs and may have a heavy effect on your herd. Water flow rate in grower-finisher pigs and the sows must not be lower than 2 liters per minute. Also, verify it on a daily basis. Some drinkers are installed with strainers that catch dirt and can obstruct water flow. Take note also of wastage (look at the photo). One liter per minute is 1440 liters per day and 10000 liters per week! Immediately fix or replace leaking nipples because it is cheaper to buy a new one than waste that amount of water.
