Drinking bowls

Drinking bowls for cows, cattle, sheep and goats

When choosing and installing a drinking bowl for cows and/or sheep, several factors need to be taken into account. Below we provide some general guidelines on these aspects to help inform you as clearly as possible.

Criteria for choosing the right drinking bowl for cows or sheep.

• Make sure the drinking bowl type is suitable for the correct animal species and its age. Cows naturally require more water than sheep.
• Check whether the water supply per minute, the water reserve and the number of drinking places are sufficient for the animals within reach, for example for a specific group of animals.
• Ensure the drinking bowl is suitable for the type of livestock housing (individual or group use).
• Consider heated drinking bowls if the system must be suitable for cold barns.

Criteria for proper installation

• The height of drinking bowls for cows or sheep must be adapted to the size of the animals.
• If possible, place them away from feeding areas to prevent feed from becoming wet or contaminated.
• During installation, drinking bowls should be protected so they cannot be damaged by kicks or pressure.
• Protect water and electrical lines from being chewed.
• If there are multiple drinking places, position them so animals do not hinder each other.
