In cage-free chicken farms, the chickens in the chicken farms need sufficient drinking water, and the cage-free poultry nipple system is specially designed for free-range chicken houses. Compared with cage-raised chickens, free-range chickens have more activity and drink more water. Preparing sufficient and clean water sources for chickens is an issue that farmers in cage-free chicken farms must pay attention to.
The poultry nipple system for cage-free poultry farming is a set of poultry drinking devices with nipple drinkers and hanging cups installed on the water storage pipe, fixed by a hanger and hung on the top of the chicken house. When drinking water is needed, lower the drinking water pipe to a suitable drinking height for the chickens through a manual or electric winch. After drinking water, adjust the drinking water pipe to a certain height to facilitate the activities of free-range chickens.
Different from the way that the caged-mode chicken nipple water system is directly fixed in the cage net, the cage-free poultry nipple system needs to be suspended above the chicken house through a hanger. This is related to the characteristics of chickens in cage-free chicken houses having a wide range of activities and being highly destructive to drinking water lines. Cage-raised chickens live in chicken cages with a limited range of movement and will not cause damage to drinking water lines. However, free-range chickens have a large range of movement and are prone to trample and damage drinking water lines. If the cage-free nipple system in poultry is placed on the floor for a long time, it will be damaged by the chickens and will also hinder the normal activities of the chickens. Therefore, the cage-free nipple drinking water line is designed to be lifted and lowered to effectively solve the problem. solved this problem.
Main Structure of The Nipple System in Poultry
The poultry nipple system water line mainly includes four parts: the front end of the water line, the drinking water section, the water line suspension system, and the end of the water line.
- Scope of application: free-range broilers, free-range breeders, free-range laying hens, free-range chicks, free-range ducks, etc.
- Equipment configuration: filter, pressure-reducing valve, head-end water level indicator, tail-end water level indicator and exhaust device, hot-dip galvanized balance rod, nipple drinker, hanging cup, anti-roost line, lifting device, etc.
- Feeding capacity of nipple drinker: 8-12 broilers/piece, 8-10 breeder chickens/piece, 10 ducks/piece.
Recommended height of the water level for poultry nipples water line:
For 1-7 day old chicks, the recommended water level height in the water level indicator is 50-80mm
For 8-15 day old chicks, the recommended water level height in the water level indicator is 80-200mm.
For chickens over 15 days old, the recommended water level in the water level indicator is 200-250mm.
Advantages of Poultry Nipple System Equipment
- The drinking water line system adopts a fully enclosed mode to ensure that the drinking water of the chickens in the chicken house is clean and the water source will not be contaminated.
- The lifting operation of the drinking water line is simple and can meet the drinking water needs of chicks to adult chickens in the flat chicken house.
- For most drinking water systems, the quality of the water source is very important. The specially designed front end of the water line can not only complete the normal water supply and dosing functions, but also is designed with a large-diameter cleaning pipeline, which can effectively flush the sediment and dirt in the water line system, thus playing an effective role in the water line system. protection and reduce the workload of system maintenance.
- The waterline system uses high-quality nipple drinkers, whose outer shell is made of high-quality engineering plastics and whose internal valve stem is made of high-quality stainless steel. The whole body of the nipple drinker is corrosion-resistant and has a service life of more than ten years.
