Increase water consumption?

Post by pigboy07 » Sun Jul 01, 2018 6:29 pm

Have a pig that is eating well but not gaining the weight I need, she simply doesn't drink a lot compared to years past. Wondering if there's any way to increase water consumption? Thanks

personally im not a lix it guy , yes we use them to keep water throughout the day . but i still put a open water supply next to the feeders at feeding time . seems stupid but ... if you've gone that far try something sweet on the feed . we will mix in coconut milk to the feed seems to make them want to drink more .
