Quality drinking water is important for everyone, including your pigs. A pig drinks more than twice as much as he eats, so the quality must be good. Unfortunately, this still often goes wrong in practice. As a source of health problems in pigs, water and water quality are also far from being considered.

The importance of good drinking water

Non-pregnant sows have a water requirement of 8 to 12 litres per day. During lactation, they need more water, as much as around 1.5 litres extra per sow. Even when pigs do not feel well, they continue to drink. Of course, the water should then be of good quality to avoid health problems. Clean drinking water also allows you to save on antibiotic use and improves growth and feed intake.

Biofilm in water pipes

Most drinking water quality problems arise from chemical contamination and biofilm in water pipes. This forms on the inside of the water pipes and can leave a slimy layer in the nipples. Moreover, loose microorganisms are absorbed by pigs through the drinking water, affecting their immune system.
