Drinking bowl for piglets
Drinking the water very early on their own is very important for the piglet’s growth!
In order to reach these drinkers equipped the valve of Model 90 (with brass valve) with a drip screw. After birth the drip screw is loosened slightly. Some water drops run down alongside the valve and drip into the bowl, which attracts the animals to drink and to start very early to drink water on their own from the bowl.

Drinking Bowls for Pigs
Drinking bowls for pigs are either made of high-quality cast iron, stainless steel or special plastic. We also offer a large range of nipple drinkers, spraying nipples and various pin valves. Our troughs have been developed on the basis of our long-term experience and cooperation with leading research institutions.
Enameled cast iron drinking bowls
Enameled cast iron drinking bowls Piglets drinking bowl have been in use for the pig keeping for decades and are well known for them
- Robustness
- long life
- stain-resistance
- hygienic surface texture.
- different stainless-steel models.
We place special emphasis in designs that protect the drinking bowls against soiling. By using tube or pin valves dirt traps are eliminated. The service and the cleaning of drinking bowls can be done quickly and simply. The activation of the valves is easy and quickly grasped by the animals.
Especially for fattening pigs apart from proper drinking bowls, nipple drinkers are popular and are liked to be used in addition to the drinking bowls. The installation height of the nipple drinkers should be approx. 5 – 10 cm above the back height of the animals, so the pig’s neck is stretched upwards when drinking.
Water flow can easily be regulated and adjusted in an optimal way to meet the needs of the animals on both the drinking bowls and Nipple drinkers by means of the regulation screw actuated from outside or by nozzles in the valves. Despite good adjustment possibilities nipple drinkers show a significantly higher water loss potential due to the animal´s tendency to play with the valves. This in turn results in more slurries.
An optimal water supply is an important foundation for a healthy animal and lays the cornerstone for a successful venture.

The following table gives indications on the animal´s water consumption, recommended
flow rate and installation heights.
Mentioning these installation heights, it is the question of approximate values.
An individual adjustment has to be made according to the type of animal and intended use of drinkers. Drinkers for Piglets are available in Kenya and east African markets
