Automatic livestock waterers

Description

A reliable, constant supply of good quality water is an essential part of any livestock enterprise. Automatic waterers are standard equipment on most farms because of their convenience and efficiency. They consist of an insulated base and a heated bowl that automatically fills with water from a pressurized line. A float-operated valve controls the level of the water in the bowl. A thermostat, set at 4 to 6° C, regulates the water temperature in the bowl.
