Drinking Water: Key to success
Without drinking water it would be impossible for humans and animals to exist.
Pigs and poultry drink around 1.5 to 2.5 times as much as they eat. Cattle need 4 to 5 times as much. A sick animal is more likely to drink than eat. Hence, a lack in nutrition can be compensated via the drinking water. Next, in addition to feed intake, the consumption of drinking water is an important indicator of an animal's condition.
The health of an animal is largely determined by water hygiene levels, a fact that is often overlooked. Water systems (and also liquid feed sytems) need regular cleaning, to prevent them against organic pollution. Unfortunately, the organic pollution in water and liquid feed systems is often not visible to the eye. To solve this problem, Kanters has developed Aqua-clean®, to keep your sytems clean.
Adding nutrients to the drinking water has several advantages. First of all, you can be sure that all the animals will receive the nutrients, because water intake is so important. Secondly, by bringing the nutrients in solution they are highly available for the animals. By using a proper dosage pump, dosage is very accurate. Regarding to these facts, results can quickly be improved with a relative low amount of nutrients.
Though many nutritional supplements introduced into the water supply may increase efficiency, not all are as productive as they seem. Working with the right quality and composition is vitally important in preventing pollution in drinking systems and achieving the desired effect in terms of animal productivity.
After many years of research, Kanters can quite rightly lay claim to being an expert in the field of water-based feed supplements. All its feed supplements satisfy the following criteria:
-
They ensure increased yield
-
They meet acknowledged GMP & HACCP standards
-
They are easy to use
-
They can be used directly
-
They have been extensively tested for their effectiveness in practice
-
They cause no pollution to your drinking system
