At Tunga Nutrition Uganda, we understand that farm productivity depends not only on high-quality feed like Hendrix Feed and Concentrates, but also on something often overlooked — clean, fresh water.

Even the best feed won’t yield results without proper water management.

1. Water Drives Digestion and Nutrient Absorption

Water plays a vital role in digestion. Animals need adequate, clean water to break down feed and absorb nutrients efficiently. Poor water quality — contaminated with bacteria, algae, or chemicals — interferes with digestion, reducing feed efficiency, growth rates, and overall animal health.

When you’re feeding your animals Hendrix Feed and Concentrates, clean water ensures they receive the full benefit of every nutrient.

2. Contaminated Water = Increased Risk Of Disease

Dirty water sources can harbour harmful pathogens like E. coli, salmonella, and parasites. These waterborne diseases can wipe out entire herds or flocks, leading to high veterinary costs and serious profit losses.

Maintaining clean water reduces the need for antibiotics, keeps animals healthier, and supports stronger natural immunity.

3. Hydration Directly Affects Productivity and Egg Size

For poultry farmers, even a slight decrease in water intake can have immediate effects on egg production, egg quality, and even egg size. Birds that are not adequately hydrated may lay smaller or fewer eggs.

Similarly, dairy cattle suffer reduced milk yields when water supply is limited, and pigs experience poor weight gain and inefficient feed utilization.

Providing your animals with unrestricted access to fresh, cool, and uncontaminated water can significantly boost not only productivity but also output quality — including larger egg sizes.

4. Water Quality Reduces Heat Stress and Mortality

Uganda’s climate can be harsh, especially during dry seasons. Heat stress in animals is a silent profit killer, reducing productivity and increasing mortality rates.

Clean, cool water helps regulate body temperature and prevents stress-related losses. Proper trough placement, clean containers, and a reliable water supply can make the difference between a thriving farm and preventable setbacks.

5. A Simple Step towards Bigger Profits

Managing water quality is cost-effective compared to the losses caused by contaminated water. Farmers who regularly clean water troughs, monitor water sources, and prevent contamination see healthier livestock, fewer diseases, and better performance.
