ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to improvements to water distribution devices used in intensive poultry raising facilities.
The new drinking trough has a cover (2) in the shape of a truncated cone, open at its upper end to allow a hollow rod (3) to pass, which rod attached a base or plate (1) whose ends are shaped as troughs (5) which can communicate by orifices (8) with a cavity (7) provided on said base. The supply of water is controlled by valve (16) and float (18) inside the drinking trough. The trough (5) can be put in communication with adjacent reservoirs for young poultry supplied at a constant level. Further, the trough (5) can receive small gutters or be replaced by reservoirs suited for various types of poultry, especially very young poultry.
