Cow drinking water bowl

The cow drinking water bowl is a new type of large livestock drinking water equipment. The following is a detailed introduction about it:

Structural composition

Bowl body: Generally made of cast iron, it has good practicality and can withstand the arching and collision of cows. Some also use materials such as steel plates, aluminum alloys, or plastics. Bowl bodies made of stainless steel have good corrosion resistance (based on actual reports) and hygiene.

Water dispenser: usually made of brass material, with good performance. The water dispenser contains components such as a housing, top rod, sealing ring, spring, cover or spring fixing seat, which can control the inflow and outflow of water, ensure smooth water flow when drinking, and automatically stop water when stopping drinking to prevent water leakage and splashing.

Bull tongue plate: mostly made of stainless steel material, with a net weight of about 119-121g. Its function is to trigger the water dispenser to release water by arching the cow tongue plate when drinking water.

Plug: Made of brand new material with threads and four corners, it is easy to rotate and fix for installation, used to block unnecessary installation holes or water outlets, and plays a sealing and fixing role.

Screw and Nut: Screw is generally made of stainless steel material and has double headed threads. Nut is mostly a 304 stainless steel cap nut, used to connect and fix various components together, making the drinking bowl structure more stable.

Characteristics and advantages

Water conservation: The cow drinking bowl adopts an automatic control water flow design, which only releases water when the cow arches the cow tongue plate. After the cow stops drinking water, it immediately stops, avoiding the waste of water resources caused by continuous water discharge from traditional sinks. Compared with traditional drinking methods, it can save more than 30% of water.

Keep dry: Due to the controllable outflow of water from the drinking bowl, there will be no large amount of overflow, which can effectively prevent the wet ground of the cowshed, reduce the breeding of substances and parasites, and create a dry and hygienic living environment for cows, which is mainly beneficial for clinical effects.

Reduce stress: The automatic drinking method allows cows to drink water at any time when needed, making the drinking process more natural and comfortable, reducing water stress caused by untimely human water supply or poor drinking environment, and promoting the growth, development, and production performance of cows.

Convenient cleaning: The structure of the cow drinking water bowl is relatively simple, with a smooth bowl body and no complex corners or gaps, making it easy for breeders to clean and disinfect regularly. It can effectively protect drinking water hygiene and reduce the risk of actual disease transmission.

Using Anran: The design of the drinking bowl can effectively prevent the water dispenser from scratching the calf, avoiding external injuries, and its installation is firm, not easily knocked over or damaged by cows, protecting the safety of cows during the drinking process.

key points of installation

Installation position: Generally, the installation position is set at the rear end of the bowl, with four installation holes. It can be fixed to the fence fittings or wall according to the design layout of the pasture, providing a relatively reasonable drinking water position for cows, making it easy for them to reach and drink water.

Installation height: It should be considered based on various factors such as the type, size, age, and site construction of the cattle being raised, with the principle of facilitating smooth drinking water for the cattle. Generally speaking, for adult cows, the bottom of the drinking bowl should be about 70-80 centimeters above the ground, which is more suitable; For calves, it is necessary to lower the installation height accordingly.

Water pressure requirement: Protect the water pressure to be used under the condition of 0.2MPa-0.3MPa. If the water pressure is too low, it will affect the water flow rate and cause insufficient drinking water. At the same time, a filter valve should be installed on the water line to prevent foreign objects from blocking the copper valve outlet and affecting the normal use of the drinking bowl.
