Karno Nipple Drinker (All Steel)

Nipple Drinker

A nipple drinker is one of the essential equipment of poultry houses. In this article, we are going to introduce Karno’s nipple drinker to you and make you more familiar with its benefits.

Technical specifications of Karno nipple drinking fountain:

The material of the nipple is all steel with 360⸰ rotation in various Turkish, Dutch, and Iranian models, which can be made according to the customer’s order. Its usage capacity is as follows:

10 to 15 chicks for each nipple and 10 to 12 nipples for broiler breeders

The distance between the nipples is 25 cm as a standard, and these distances can be smaller or larger according to the customer’s order. Due to the high quality of steel used in making the nipples, they have a high resistance to rust and corrosion and therefore have a long service life.

In poultry breeding, it is necessary to distribute clean water to prevent chicken dehydration during the breeding period. Water consumption and fertilizer are directly related to each other and without sufficient water consumption, fertilizer consumption decreases and as a result the growth rate also decreases. In order to increase the rate of growth, we need to continuously modernize the equipment. For example, 10 years ago, a bird reached the same weight in 50 days as it does today in 40 days. (20% reduction in the age of slaughter), which indicates the need to increase the capacity of the required equipment by 20%.

Today, the use of nipple drinkers is being considered, in which case, to ensure the access of birds to water, one nipple drinker with a low water flow is necessary for every 9 pieces, but in case of using a nipple system with a higher water flow, the number of birds per Each nipple increases.

The required amount of nipple drinkers with a diameter of 400 mm is 8-10 for every 1000 birds. Therefore, KarnoTech’s nipple drinking models have a high economic justification for poultry farmers.

Correct installation of the nipple drinker

One of the points that should be paid attention to when buying a nipple drinker is the service of installation and establishment of drinking systems in poultry houses. The basic and correct installation of the nipple system in the poultry house must be done with great precision. The use of ceiling winches as well as watering pulleys should be such that the watering lines do not fall in the breeding hall and are placed in a straight line. The wire ropes used in drinking water lines should be proportional to the length of the lines so that they can have good resistance to hold the drinking water lines.

Paying attention to the water pressure in the drinking pipes is another thing that you should pay attention to when buying a nipple drinker. High water pressure can have a negative effect on the performance of the nipple needles and cause the chicken litter to drip and get wet. The importance of this topic is discussed more in the standard conditions of poultry breeding.

Adjusting the water pressure in nipple drinking fountains

Low water pressure in drinking pipes can also have many negative effects on poultry breeding. Therefore, the use of pressure reducers can have a good effect in balancing the water pressure in drinking water lines.
