Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of livestock equipment, and specifically to an anti-freezing water trough for livestock breeding and its usage method. Background Art

[0002] In animal husbandry, cold weather in winter poses special requirements for animal drinking facilities. Traditional livestock water troughs are prone to freezing in low-temperature environments, resulting in animals being unable to drink water normally. This not only affects the growth and development of animals but may also cause a series of health problems. Traditional methods usually use heaters to heat the water trough to prevent freezing. However, this method not only has high energy consumption but also has a short service life of the heating equipment, high maintenance costs, and certain safety hazards.

[0003] Through retrieval, the publication number CN218604507U provides an electric heating anti-freezing drinking trough. The first heating rod can heat the embedded pipe, which has the function of melting the ice in the embedded pipe and preventing the water in the embedded pipe from freezing. However, this drinking trough has an open mouth, is easy to fall into sundries, and is not convenient to clean. The publication number CN219835033U provides a farming and animal husbandry anti-freezing drinking device. By setting an outer cover to cover the outer wall of the heat preservation layer, and the upper mouth of the outer cover and the upper mouth of the water trough are integrated; a constant temperature heating device is set to maintain the water temperature in the water trough and realize automatically providing constant temperature drinking water. However, in order to avoid the drinking water from freezing, this drinking device needs to continuously heat the drinking water, resulting in relatively high energy consumption and increasing the operating cost of using the water trough.
