ANIMAL WATERING STATION

Animal watering stations have a liquid piping system (14), comprising watering lines (16) with associated drinking valves (21). In such animal watering stations, when no liquid is removed by the animals at the drinking valves (21), the liquid is stagnant in the liquid piping system (14). This may result in hygiene problems. Moreover, in the known animal watering stations it is costly to change the liquid pressure at the drinking valves (21) so that it meets the requirements. The invention calls for providing the liquid piping system (14), in addition to the watering lines (16), with a supply line (17) for the simultaneous parallel supplying of liquid to all watering lines (16) and with a return line (24) for the returning of liquid to a liquid reservoir (26). In this way, on the one hand, a circulation of the liquid can be realized in at least parts of the liquid piping system (14) and on the other hand the parallel fluidic circuit of the watering lines (16) enables an easy adapting of ...

METHOD OF PROMOTING EFFICIENT WATER DRINKING BY ANIMALS

A method of promoting efficient water drinking by animals uses any one of a number of container embodiments. A first embodiment of container contemplates five sub-chambers separated from one another by parallel partitions, with each partition having a small weep hole near its bottom to equalize water level in each sub-chamber. Each sub-chamber has an elongated length dimension and a width that is relatively narrow and designed to approximate the width of an animal's tongue. When an animal is drinking water from one of the sub-chambers of this embodiment, as the tongue is lapping, the sides of the tongue are close to the inner walls of the sub-chamber, thereby precluding some of the water resting on the tongue from falling off the tongue as the water is lifted into the animal's mouth. In this way, the efficiency of drinking using the lapping technique is enhanced.
