Livestock Waterers Water is one of the most critical elements to an animal and it's overall health. Animals that drink clean, contaminant-free water are generally less prone to illness and disease, gain more weight and produce more milk. Factors that affect water consumption include; weather conditions, feed type, activity level, gender and access. As an animal's weight increases, so does their water requirement. Special physical conditions, like pregnancy, rapid growth and lactation, can also make a big difference in water requirements. Water intake for dry beef cows is roughly 1 to 1^ gallons...

Tru-Test Waterers-6

We know Waterers are exposed to harsh weather conditions. That’s why all of our plastics have been UV stabilized for long term outdoor use. We only use impact resistant materials, so even in temperatures as extreme as -40°F our Waterers withstand the toughest abuse from livestock. Our Waterers meet all State minimum water capacity requirements but at a lower profile, to ensure water is replenished more often. This keeps water fresher, colder in the summer and warmer, free of ice in the winter. Our lower profile also enables comfortable access for livestock of all sizes. Ice is a problem. To prevent...

Tru-Test Waterers-7

Livestock Waterers WaterWell™ 4WaterWell™ 2 • Our flotation balls act as a visual water level cue. If they can be seen from a distance, there is adequate water within. The balls also help to seal the Waterer in summer to reduce evaporation and keep the unit dark. This virtually eliminates algae growth. • Livestock quickly learn to push the balls down to access the fresh water beneath. We’ve purposely made the ball opening larger to comfortably accommodate the muzzle of even the largest animals. • Our flotation balls also help with water temperature control. Select our white balls for the summer...
