Abstract
The problem of watering poultry with water is analyzed. The aim of the study is to choose the design of a nipple drinker for poultry when they are with cage kept. In accordance with this, in order to develop a modern nipple drinker for poultry that meets the sanitary and technical requirements of the poultry housing, a comparative analysis of existing nipple drinker designs is carried out. A nipple drinker for poultry of cage keeping is developed. The tests conducted on broilers show that the nipple drinker meets the physiological needs of poultry in water and is reliable in operation while reducing the cost of its preventive maintenance. The nipple drinker has a low water consumption during batch feeding, is hygienic in use, improves the sanitary condition of the poultry room, increases the live weight of broilers by 3...5%. The developed nipple drinker for poultry in comparison with its closest analogues has a simple design, low labor intensity of manufacture, the possibility of self-purification from salt deposits on the inner surface of the device regulating the flow of water, increases reliability in operation and reduces water losses by its portion supply, improves the sanitary condition of the room for keeping poultry.
