Abstract
An installation for rearing animals includes an injector; a water inlet line and a gas inlet line arriving in the injector; a source of oxygen or a gas mixture including oxygen, capable of delivering oxygen into the gas line; and a water recirculation loop including: a water tank, at atmospheric pressure, to supply the injector with fresh water; a coil capable of receiving water charged with dissolved oxygen from the injector through a pump, wherein the coil creates a water/oxygen contact time; and an overflow valve, to have the water resulting from the coil passed in order to be able to direct the water entirely to the animals' watering or partially to the animals' watering and partially back to the water tank. A method for rearing animals includes boosting water with dissolved oxygen up to saturation for animals' watering.
