Experiments found that placing drinkers near feeders doubles the feed intake of pigs.

实验发现，靠近喂食器的饮水器会使猪的摄入量翻倍。

猪场饮水器的位置

Observations of reports and feed and water consumption trends revealed on one farm, up to twice as much feed was being consumed from one feed compared with another identical one. The only noticeable difference between the 2 was the 1 with high intakes was positioned next to drinkers.

观察农场饲料和水的消耗趋势的报告显示，一种饲料的消耗量是另一种饲料的两倍。两者之间唯一明显的区别是，高摄入量的喂食器位于饮水器旁边。

The position of feeders in pig houses is often determined by the delivery auger and sometimes the water-line dictates where the drinkers are fixed. However, the research suggests the industry should have a new look at this aspect of pen design.

在猪舍里，喂食器的位置通常由喂食螺旋机决定，有时饮水线决定饮水器的位置。然而，研究表明，该行业应该对猪圈的设计有一个新的认识。
