Sensor for Monitoring Sow DrinkingPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Applied Engineering in Agriculture. 2(2): 158-160. (doi: 10.13031/2013.26733) @1986Authors: P. A. Phillips, J. M. Leclerc Keywords: Livestock production, Sow production, Swine, Water supply COMMONLY used rural water supply principles and components were adapted to measure low flow volume to livestock drinkers in pressurized water systems. Using a two-litre accumulator tank kept the cost per sensor down to $317 (Can.). Drinking output records were well correlated with observed drinking times of individually housed sows (r = 0.944). A data logging unit was used as an event recorder to record the sensor output. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
