ABSTRACT:
The device for delivering fluid to livestock comprises a plurality of demand actuated drinker units which can be actuated by animals. Each drinker unit is connected to a vertical conduit, and the upper end of the vertical conduits are connected to a horizontal conduit. Fluid is circulted from a reservoir through the horizontal conduit and back to the reservoir. Gravity causes fluid to flow downwardly through the vertical conduits to the drinker units, but the constant recirculation of fluid through the upper conduit prevents the fluid from remaining at rest and spoiling. The system includes a fresh water supply which can be used to inject fresh water into the system or for the purposes of flushing the system.
