HOG BENEFIT STUDY

Background: Swine Innovations & CWET set out to demonstrate the veracity of structured water technology on swine operations.  A 525-sow farrow to finish operation located in Northern Alberta was selected.  Three areas of focus were concentrated on.  

1. To reduce mortality.
2. To reduce the time it takes to get the herd to market.
3. To get the herd to market at full market weight in that abbreviated time frame.

All three goals were achieved.  As of this writing, several trials have been closely monitored verifying substantial benefits to the farmer.  The only change in these face-to-face studies was the addition of the structured water.

This farmer wanted to convert their herd to antibiotic free, with zero growth hormones. They also wanted to increase the overall efficiency and profit of the production system.  They realized early on that two factors were needed to get consistent results in the barn; water quality and feed quality. Once these two factors were taken care of the rest of the production would be much easier. Over the years, Sunnybend did what any good farmer would do – they kept pushing to provide the best quality feed, water in the barn, as well as working with vets, nutritionists, and water treatment specialist etc. The results documented below were determined after a 2 year study.
