Water troughs

DeLaval water troughs offer hygienic and easy access to large volumes of fresh water which is essential in loose housing and on pasture.

A cow's water intake has a major effect on her milk production. When you provide a proper water supply, cows drink more, eat more and thus produce more milk. High yielding cows need more than 150 litres of fresh water every day at a rate of up to 20 litres of water per minute. If they can't, their water intake may fall off and their milk yield will suffer. A 40 percent reduction in water intake can cut milk production by 25 percent. Cows prefer a large, calm drinking surface from which they can drink quickly and without stress. Such natural drinking behaviour promotes further eating, even more drinking and thus greater milk yields.

Our water troughs minimise microbial growth and hinder pollution from dirt. This also makes them very easy to keep clean.
