Function of the main water supply components, namely:
- A trough serves as a source of drinking water for livestock. Minimum outlet height = 2 m. To prevent the trough water from heating up from the hot sun, the trough must be protected with a roof or painted white to reflect the sun's heat.
- Watermeter functions to measure the amount of water consumption.
- The filter functions to filter water from dirt deposits & prevent blockages in the nipple drinker.
- A pressure meter measures water pressure. This item is optional (not mandatory).
- The Medicator automatically injects antibiotics, vitamins, or vaccines into the water supply. The Medicator can regulate the amount of medication dispensed, for example, at a 1% scale, meaning 1 ml of medication per 100 ml of drinking water.
