Finisher Pig Drinking Bowl

The Finisher Pig Drinking Bowl is designed to provide finishing pigs with reliable access to fresh water while reducing unnecessary water loss. Its stainless steel bowl combines a rounded animal-friendly profile with a low-position drinking valve that releases water when activated by the pig.

The bowl retains a small drinking area around the nipple, helping pigs consume water with less spraying than conventional exposed nipple installations. Reduced water wastage can also help limit excess slurry volume in commercial pig houses.

The drinker can be mounted to pen partitions, steel bars or livestock-house walls and connected to a regulated drinking-water supply. Bowl size, pipe length, mounting hardware and nipple configuration can be customized according to project requirements.

• Designed specifically for grower and finishing pigs.
• Rounded bowl profile minimizes blind corners and simplifies cleaning.
• Stainless steel construction provides durability and corrosion resistance.
• Bottom-positioned nipple helps reduce unnecessary water spraying.
• Adjustable drinking valve supports controlled water delivery.
• Rolled or protected bowl edges improve animal safety.
• Helps reduce water entering manure pits and slurry storage.
• Suitable for mounting on pen panels, steel structures or walls.
• Compatible with centralized pig-house drinking-water systems.
• Low routine maintenance for commercial pig production.

• Stainless Steel Bowl: Collects drinking water and provides an accessible drinking area.
• Rounded Front Edge: Provides smooth animal contact and helps prevent feed or manure accumulation.
• Adjustable Drinking Nipple: Releases water when activated by the pig.
• Nipple Pipe: Connects the drinker to the livestock-house water supply.
• Rear Mounting Plate: Provides stable attachment to penning or structural supports.
• Mounting Brackets: Allow installation on steel bars, partitions or walls.
• Water Connection: Connects to filtered and pressure-regulated drinking-water piping.

When a pig presses or moves the drinking nipple, the valve opens and fresh water flows directly into the bowl. Water is released close to the pig's mouth, allowing efficient consumption while limiting uncontrolled spray.

After the pig releases the nipple, the valve closes automatically. The bowl retains only the amount of water required around the drinking area, helping reduce unnecessary wastage.

Correct mounting height, inlet pressure and nipple adjustment are important for achieving reliable water access and efficient operation.

Installation:

• Install the bowl at a height suitable for the target finishing-pig weight range.
• A comparable Standard configuration uses approximately 25 cm from floor level to the lower front edge of the bowl.
• Secure the mounting plate or brackets firmly to the pen structure.
• Connect the nipple pipe to a clean, filtered and pressure-regulated water supply.
• Flush the pipeline before connecting the final drinking valve.
• Adjust water pressure and nipple flow before introducing pigs.
• Check for leaks and confirm that pigs can activate the valve easily.

Maintenance:

• Inspect drinking bowls daily for feed, manure or other contamination.
• Clean the rounded bowl surface regularly.
• Check nipple operation and water flow during routine barn inspection.
• Remove mineral deposits from valves when water quality requires it.
• Inspect brackets, bolts and pipe connections for looseness or corrosion.
• Flush water lines according to the farm water-management program.
• Replace worn seals or valve components when leakage occurs.

Q: Why use a drinking bowl instead of an exposed nipple?
A: A drinking bowl captures water around the valve, helping reduce spray and runoff while providing pigs with an easily accessible drinking point.

Q: How many finishing pigs can use one bowl?
A: A comparable ACO FUNKI Standard drinking cup is specified for up to approximately 30 finishing pigs. Final sizing should consider pig weight, water demand, pen design and local welfare requirements.

Q: What mounting height is recommended?
A: A comparable Standard finisher cup is installed approximately 25 cm from the floor to the lower front edge of the bowl.

Q: Is the drinking nipple adjustable?
A: Yes. Adjustable stainless steel drinking nipples can be configured to match water pressure and pig requirements.

Q: Does the bowl help reduce slurry volume?
A: Yes. Better control of drinking water can reduce unnecessary water entering manure pits compared with poorly adjusted spraying nipples.

Q: Can it be installed on existing pig penning?
A: Yes. Mounting kits can be selected for steel bars, partition panels or suitable walls according to the existing pig-house structure.

Q: What information is required for a quotation?
A: Please provide pig weight range, pigs per pen, required quantity, water pressure, penning type, preferred mounting position, pipe specification and project destination.
