Water is one of the most important—and often overlooked—nutrients in pork production.
In this interview from World Pork Expo 2026, Tommy from Kanters Animal Health explains how advanced water monitoring and dosing systems are changing swine research and helping producers better understand water intake, supplementation, and animal performance.
The discussion also covers practical steps producers can take today to monitor water quality, identify biofilm before it becomes a problem, and improve the health and efficiency of their barns.
Topics include:
Why water is the "forgotten nutrient" in swine production
How advanced water monitoring is transforming research
The role of water quality in pig health and performance
Detecting biofilm before it impacts production
Practical on-farm water management strategies
