Do you think it is better for pigs to drink hot water or cold water in winter?

Many people need to feed pigs with water in the process of raising pigs, but the water that pigs drink is different in different seasons. If we feed pigs with water in winter, we'd better choose hot water. Because in fact, the structure of pigs and our human bodies is similar, we often choose to drink hot water in winter, and pigs are best suited to keep some hot water in winter to better ensure their health.

First of all, for pigs, if we feed them hot water in winter, it will not only save money but also ensure the health of pigs. But for pigs, the hot water they drink is different from the 100 degree hot water we usually drink. They just need to keep the water temperature around 37 degrees. Because pigs also need to keep their body temperature in winter, in addition to increasing their body temperature through food, we also need to feed them some hot water, which can effectively keep their bodies warm. If we feed water with cold water, it will lead to insufficient calorie intake in their bodies, eat more and increase the cost of feed.

Cold water If we feed pigs with cold water in winter, their weight will increase very slowly. Because pigs who drink hot water gain a little more weight than those who drink cold water, and if they are fed cold water for a long time in winter, they are likely to have diarrhea and lose weight. When we feed pigs, if we want their weight to increase rapidly in winter, we need to work hard on the problems of food and water, so as to be better conducive to their growth when we feed them normally.

Note that not only should we pay attention to the water temperature when feeding hot water to pigs, but we can also use a special pork water heater if it is troublesome during feeding, which will be more economical. At the same time, it should be noted that pigs drink different water in summer and winter, so they need to be fed according to the season at this time. If it is winter, give them a water temperature of about 37 degrees, neither too hot nor too cold. If it is summer, you can directly feed them with cold water.
