pig333.com presents a new section: water medication calculator

This tool calculates the quantity of medicine to incorporate in water when using a flow dispenser.

To calculate the stock solution, the user should enter the number of animals, their weight and the amount of water consumed, the dosage, the product concentration and the regulation of the dispenser.

If the quantity of water consumed is not known, the simulator will provide an approximation based on number of animals, weight, temperature and quantity of water wasted. In any case, with the quantity of the stock solution consumed on the first day of medication, real water consumption can be calculated.
