There are various feeders and drinkers (poultry equipment). It is important to choose the feeding and drinking system most appropriate for the poultry house so as to enable your birds to feed well.
The poultry feeding equipment is used for feeding poultry birds. Usually, foods are kept in the feeder and the birds start eating from there. The feeder should be kept neat and clean always to keep your chickens healthy. It is important that you keep a sufficient number of feeders in the poultry house according to the number of chickens; not more, not less.
You can choose from a variety of poultry drinking equipment including fountain drinkers, bell drinkers, and nipple drinkers. Fountain drinkers and bell drinkers are mainly used in deep litter production.
Nipple drinkers can be used both in deep-litter and in the cage system of poultry rearing. When used in a deep-litter system, it is attached with a cup under the nipple to prevent wetting of litter material. These drinkers look like a nipple and water drops come out when they are pecked by chickens. They can be used for all types and classes of birds, but most commonly used in laying cages. One nipple drinker used in each cage housing 3 or 4 layers is sufficient.
