Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feeding devices, in particular to an automatic drinking device for cattle and sheep. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are two ways in the process of raising cattle and sheep. One is tethered feeding. For example, fattening cattle are mostly fixed in a designated position with ropes and stay in one position until they are sold, without being able to move freely. In this feeding method, water is generally released regularly in the feeding trough for unified drinking. The other is free-range feeding, where individual cattle and sheep are not fixed in a designated position with ropes, but move freely in large groups, such as the feeding of most sheep and cows. Whether it is tethered or free-range feeding, a fixed position is required for centralized drinking.

[0003] Currently, the most common method is to place a water trough, fill it with water, and then manually refill it after it is emptied. This not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also there may be a situation where water is not fed in a timely manner during manual watering. Moreover, when the weather is cold, the water added to the water trough is likely to freeze, causing inconvenience to breeding. At the same time, most current watering devices are of a fixed height and cannot be adjusted appropriately according to the heights of cattle and sheep.

[0004] Therefore, it is very necessary to invent an automatic drinking device for cattle and sheep to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
