Chicken water fountain component and function
Chicken spout is a common and ideal drinking equipment for breeder farms. It can effectively prevent leakage of drinking water, is conducive to air drying in the house, reduces ammonia odor and mold growth, improves the home environment, and is fully sealed waterline. It can ensure that the water supply is fresh, clean, eliminate external pollution, and reduce the incidence of diseases. Generally, in the case of reducing the leakage of water line and ensuring that the humidity in the house is not too high, the pressure and water flow rate of the water line may be increased depending on the actual situation (pig water lines are not recommended for chickens less than 3 days old).
filter. The filter is used to filter impurities in the water so that the drinking water system can work effectively and provide enough clean water. The structure consists of a plastic housing, a strainer, and two pressure gauges at both ends. One is an inlet pressure gauge and the other is a discharge gauge. When the water passes through the filter, dirt and impurities are adsorbed by the filter. When the filter outlet pressure is less than the inlet pressure, the impurities in the filter are washed. If the backwater is not frequently recoiled, it will affect the drinking water of the chicken and the impurities will enter the inlet. Drugs and pressure regulators inside the nipple and affect the normal work, the nipple sealing structure is blocked, it will leak a lot of water, so if necessary, need to deal with the filter or replace the filter.
Regulator. The pressure regulator should be adjusted according to the needs of the chicken's drinking water. The above transparent water pipe is set for pressure indication and exhaust. It can be arbitrarily adjusted according to the age of the chicken and the amount of drinking water. There is “+,-” on the adjustment screw. Mark, increase water pressure to "+" rotation, reduce water pressure to "-" rotation. The pressure regulator should be cleaned periodically. When cleaning, the whole pressure regulator should be disassembled, and the dirt inside can be cleaned with detergent and scouring pad; the side of the pressure regulator is the recoil valve, which opens the recoil. The valve acts to flush the waterline directly without a regulator when the water passes.
Shock line. Prevent chickens in flat-raised chicken houses from jumping onto the waterline (especially in the breeding period) and press the waterline to bend it, resulting in damage to the waterline.
Waterline. Including two parts of fixed steel pipe and water storage pipe. The fixed steel pipe serves to fix the lower water storage pipe, keeping the water line straight and firm. Water storage pipes are places where clean drinking water is stored.
nipple. Including stainless steel ball, seals, flow pins, stainless steel contacts, saddles in five parts. Role: The stainless steel ball acts as a water barrier; the sealing ring prevents water leakage; the flow pin functions as the water inlet and the control water quantity, and can be filled when the core is lifted; and the stainless steel contact is provided for the chicken gurgling water and is provided with the water barrier. Role; saddle prevents the nipple from falling off the plastic tube.
Waterline lifting system. Including lifters that act as an overall lifter and regulators that act as local lifters.
Dosing device. Play the role of adding drugs to the waterline.
Reasons and measures for causing water shortage or leakage of nipple waterline
The waterline is uneven, with high or low, high local water shortage (water pressure is relatively low at the lower level, there are many chickens that drown in water, and there is more water under the scaffolding), and should be leveled; the height of the flat raising chicken's water line will increase with age. The increase should be gradually increased. Generally, the chicken will raise its head and neck to drink water without lowering its head and not stepping on it.
If the water pressure is improperly adjusted, it should be adjusted slightly to see the drinking water condition of the chicken and amend it later. In principle, the higher the age of the flock, the higher the water pressure and vice versa. The water column of the plastic pipe at the end of the waterline at the peak of the summer season generally has a height of about 20 centimeters, which may be reduced in winter. The water column at the end of the brooding period can be 5 cm to 10 cm in height.
As the waterline often drinks some water-soluble carriers such as glucose in compound and multidimensional medicines, it is very easy to react with bacteria in the waterline to generate floccules that block the waterline. It does not flush the water line for a long time, resulting in blocked water pipes or nipples. . So flush the hose regularly (at least once a week). After drinking drugs, vaccines, and additives, flush the water pipe on the same day.
