Piglets drinking trough unit - has controlled drip supply via suckling teat

摘要

The arrangement is intended for supplying liquid feed to a feeding trough (3) particularly for piglets or the like. The liquid is supplied to the trough in the form of drops from an orifice (2) which is preferably a suckling teat. The arrangement draws the attention of the piglets and, after some time, induces them to suckle directly from the teat. The teat may be arranged at the lower end of a closed container (1) provided at the top with an air inlet valve (4) which can be regulated to set the drip rate.
