Water supply should meet maximum demands for daily water intake. A lower than required water flow rate can cause dehydration, reduce feed intake, body-weight gain and livability. A higher than required water flow rate can increase spillage from drinkers causing poor litter quality associated foot, leg health and environmental issues and reduced water intake.
