When designing a , it is important to choose drinkers with a suitably sized drinking trough. Due to their wider bills, waterfowl require a wider drinking trough than, for example, chickens. A sufficiently wide trough allows geese and ducks to drink comfortably. In professional duck and goose farming, are a popular choice.
:
- Drinker diameter (measured at the outer edge of the trough): 422 mm
- Drinking edge circumference (measured around the trough): 132 cm
- Trough rim height: 72 mm
- Trough width: 68 mm
- Total drinker height including valve (height of the suspension point): 55 cm
- Suspension cord length (included): 2.5 m
Like other the is connected to a using a special . The comes complete with the necessary components, including a and a for a . The drinker operates automatically. The is equipped with a responsible for opening and shutting off the water supply to the drinker. The operates using a gravity-based mechanism.
Now let us take a closer look at the most important part of the goose drinker – the . The bowl features a particularly wide 68 mm drinking trough, providing ducks and geese with easy and comfortable access to water. For professional poultry farmers, another important parameter is the 132 cm drinking edge circumference. It is estimated that approximately 10–14 should be provided per 1,000 birds. The is also equipped with a , which stabilises the suspended drinker and helps prevent birds from spilling water. For best results, it is recommended to fill the ballast container with water or, preferably, sand.
It is also worth noting that the is equipped with a standard , making the drinker easy to service and maintain even after extended use. are widely available and can also be purchased from our store.
