Water medication can be targeted to one compartment (or even a pen).

Right Time

Water medication allows you to wait and see. You are able to act quickly once the animals do fall ill.

Right Dose

With water medication, the risk of underdosing due to carry-over or uneven mixing of the medication into the feed is eliminated.
