Dr. Jon Holt: Water in Pig Nutrition | Ep. 49
Whenever we think about critical nutrients for the performance, growth, and development of our pigs, we may need to remember to mention water. However, even though it’s often forgotten, water is a crucial nutrient for swine performance. When it comes to its usage, we must consider both its quantity and quality. So what should we measure? What should we look for? Are we doing a good job of considering the role of water in swine productivity? In this episode, Dr. Jon Holt discusses some studies he's been working on that involve those questions regarding water use, quantity, quality, and impact on swine performance.
