The installation quantity and height of stainless steel drinking bowls for pigs directly affect its use effect. When many pig farmers use stainless steel drinking bowls for the first time, they are confused about how many pigs can use a water bowl and how high the installation should be. In this article, we will discuss Brief introduction.

1. Number of drinking bowls installed

Sufficient drinking water can improve the feed conversion rate and improve the breeding efficiency of pig farms. Insufficient drinking water will lead to a decrease in feed intake and various intestinal diseases. The number of water bowls installed should be determined according to the number of pigs. Generally, when pigs are raised in large pens, a drinking bowl needs to be installed for every 8-10 pigs. If the number of pigs is more than 10, it is recommended to install 2 automatic drinking fountains. And the installation height is appropriate.

2. Installation height of drinking water bowl

The height of the drinking bowl from the ground is not the best size, because the height of the pigs is not the same, the fattening pen can set up two water bowls with different heights, and the piglets that have just entered the pen should use the shorter one. It is recommended that the mouth of the bowl should be 20 -25 cm, the installation height of the big pig is 30-35 cm from the ground, and the water bowl of the sow is 40-60 cm from the ground. The above data are for reference only, and the farmer can determine it according to the specific conditions of the pig house.
