The innovative technology that provides optimal water management in wet/dry feeders

One of the biggest challenges in using wet/dry feeders is getting a correct water flow that ensures an adequate water/feed mixture. Unfortunately, implementing inappropriate drinkers or nipples causes significant management challenges, resulting in feed waste and impaired feed conversion rates, and can even affect pig health, as pigs tend not to eat if they come across a feeder with too much water.

Crystal Spring's wet/dry feeders have a unique, patented drinker technology that ensures the correct flow of water for each phase of the pig's growth. As we know, each phase has different requirements for water consumption and the feeder must ensure that the pig has enough water.

In the nursery phase, for example, water consumption is critical in the first days after weaning. Low water consumption directly affects feed consumption and impacts the production performance of the batch of pigs. With Crystal Spring^® wet/dry feeders, pigs have feed and water at the same time and in the same place, ensuring immediate access to water starting from the first days after weaning.

The drinker was developed for use in barns with either pump or gravity tank pressurized systems.

This technology opened a space for a complete line of solutions that not only involves drinkers used in wet/dry feeders (in the nursery, finishing, wean-to-finish, and lactation stages) but also for technology serving as a solution in supplemental drinkers for farrowing pens.

Advantages of the Crystal Spring drinker:

• Patented design that ensures water flow and adapts to water pressure variations in the barn.
• Long product life / variable water pressure, optimizing the performance of the wet/dry feeder.
• Precise water flow control for better performance in wet/dry feeding from weaning to finishing.
• Easier wet/dry feeder management.
• Reduces water and feed waste, showing significantly improved feed conversion, and gains of up to 2.5 kg ADG in the nursery.

In addition to the quality and innovation for the best performance on the farm, the Crystal Spring drinker has proven to have the best durability on the market (over 5 years), is wear-free, is completely removable for easy cleaning and preventive maintenance, and has no springs, eliminating the need for replacement parts. Crystal Spring^® feeders pay for themselves in 2-3 production cycles on average, due to reduced waste and increased feed conversion efficiency, as well as having a longer life (over 15 years), compared to other conventional feeders.
