Poultry Farm Drinking System
Water is an important nutrient for the body’s metabolism and nutrition of broiler chickens. Birds need water to drink and reduce their body temperature, so providing clean and quality water to the bird is very important. Today, the drinkers used in the poultry industry are divided into manual drinkers (sugar bowls) and automatic drinkers (nipples). Broiler chickens are one of the most popular poultry breeds in Iran. Since the trend towards industrial broiler farming has changed today, there is a need to use automatic and modern systems for broiler chicken drinking, and automatic nipple drinking systems have replaced older systems for greater efficiency. 70 percent of the weight of broiler chickens is water, so it makes sense that chickens start drinking water as soon as possible and receive enough and healthy water every day for optimal growth. The use of a closed drinking system ensures that the bird always has access to water, and at the same time, the water inside the drinking system is always hygienic, free of contamination, and at a temperature lower than the temperature of the house. Increasing productivity and improving breeding records at the end of the period depend on optimal water consumption, which can significantly reduce the conversion rate and other parameters related to final weight, veterinary costs, and labor costs. The nipple drinking system is one of the most modern and up-to-date methods of supplying water to poultry houses and poultry farms. It has advantages such as maintaining a hygienic water supply environment, preventing contamination and disease propagation, and ensuring the constant availability of fresh and healthy water to the poultry.
The automatic drinking system is one of the most advanced and optimal methods for supplying water in industrial poultry farms. This system automatically and uniformly makes water available to the birds and plays an important role in improving management, reducing costs, and increasing productivity. All nipple drinking system equipment is available at Arian Manufacturing Industries for equipping poultry houses and poultry breeding halls. Nipple drinking system consists of three main parts: pipe, cup and nipple needle. Below we will describe all nipple drinking system equipment:
1. Nipple needle
2. Nipple pipe
3. Nipple bowl
4. Pressure relief valve
5. Drinking system winch
6. Drinking tow wire
7. Drinking hanging thread
Automatic poultry drinker price
The price of automatic poultry drinkers varies depending on the type and size of the order and is calculated according to the size of the poultry house.

For information on the price of automatic drinkers, contact our consultants on the Arian Manufacturing Industries website for more information.
How Automatic Nipple Drinkers Work
The automatic nipple drinker system consists of nipples that are connected to water pipes. When the chicken pecks at them, water automatically flows out of the pipe. To install the nipple drinker system, we need proper plumbing and connection to the water source. The nipples must also be installed at an appropriate height and appropriate to the age of the chickens so that they can easily access the water. By using the automatic nipple drinker system, water wastage is minimized. Because the chickens drink from it only when they need water and the water does not flow in the nipples. In today’s world where natural resources are becoming limited, smart use of water is essential and the nipple drinker system helps to conserve these resources by reducing water waste. Overall, the nipple drinker system is an attractive innovation in the world of poultry farming that helps improve productivity, product quality and poultry health. An automatic drinking system not only helps the environment, but it will also contribute significantly to economic benefits.
Advantages of using an automatic nipple drinking system
Nipple drinking is the best and most modern type of drinking system because in this system, adjusting the height of the drinkers is easy and convenient. And because the water drops with each time the chick pees, the possibility of water contamination is minimized and the amount of water waste is reduced, which in turn reduces running costs. And the presence of cups under the nipple prevents the bedding from getting wet in the event of water leakage. The nipple drinking system is more efficient than other drinking systems for two reasons:
1. Injecting medicine and vaccines into the drinking system
In a manual system, a lot of labor is needed to administer vaccines and medicines, but in automatic systems today, this task has become much easier with the possibility of installing a Dosatron system.
2. Microbial quality of water
As you know, one of the important factors in water consumption is its microbial quality, and the amount of microbes in the water should not exceed a certain limit, but this issue is not only in examining the water that enters the hall. For example, in a sugar bowl drinker where there is the possibility of defecation, the quality of the water in it decreases sharply. As a result, the more advanced the drinking system, the easier it is to maintain water quality.
Installation and commissioning of automatic nipple drinking system
Automatic poultry drinking system has recently become popular in the poultry industry and most poultry houses use this system. From the past to the present, many drinking systems have been used in poultry houses, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages, and due to advances in poultry industry equipment, they are no longer used and have given way to advanced and updated industries. Arian Manufacturing Industries offers you the Arian Automatic Nipple Drinking System, which is one of the newest automatic drinking systems in the poultry industry today. Installing and commissioning the automatic nipple drinking system is very easy and all its equipment is available in Arian Manufacturing Industries. Our experienced experts in this field will take care of the construction, installation and commissioning of the automatic drinking system for your poultry house and poultry farming from zero to one hundred and will deliver the work to your loved ones in the best possible way.
Important points in using and installing automatic drinkers
1. Adjusting the height of the pipes:
• The height should be adjusted based on the height of the birds and their age.
2. Water quality control:
• It is essential to use appropriate filters and replace them regularly.
3. Periodic washing:
• Pipes and nipples should be cleaned regularly to prevent blockage and contamination.
4. Water pressure test:
• The water pressure should be adjusted according to the type of nipple and the needs of the birds.
The equipment of the automatic poultry drinking system has the following components, as follows:
1. Nipple Needle:
The nipple drinking needle can undoubtedly be considered the most important part of a nipple drinking system because the chickens drink water by pecking at them. These needles are selected according to the amount of water, which varies the degree of rotation of the needle tip. 360-degree needles are used for broilers and breeders, and 180-degree needles are used for laying hens, quails, partridges, and pheasants. These needles are also made of steel or a combination of steel and plastic, which are used in accordance with the drinking tube. In combination needles, the color of the plastic stimulates the bird to drink more, but all-steel needles are more resistant and have a longer lifespan.
2. Nipple pipe:
Nipple pipes are made of PVC and are produced in 4-meter sizes in square and round models, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, in square pipes, due to the smaller inner diameter of the pipe and the greater penetration of the needle into the pipe, pipe clogging occurs more often, and in round pipes, the water flow rate is higher, but due to the installation of nipple needle accessories, such as belts and O-rings, more damage and water leakage occurs.
3. Nipple bowl:
Nipple drinking bowls produced by Arian Manufacturing Industries Group are made of first-class and flexible plastic. These bowls are available in various models, including single-leg, double-leg, and S-shaped, but only the S-shaped model is produced because it has more space to collect water and performs better in collecting water and not wetting the bed.
4. Pressure relief valve:
The nipple drinking pressure relief valve is one of the most important equipment in nipple drinking lines. The main function of the nipple drinker pressure relief valve is to regulate the water pressure inside the nipple lines. This is a very important function because high water pressure inside the lines causes water waste and wetting of the bedding, and low water pressure also causes the chickens not to receive enough water. Therefore, this pressure must be adjusted according to the age of the flock. The way it works is that by turning the pressure adjustment screw that is installed on the bottom of it to the sides, you can observe the increase or decrease in the line pressure on the water gauge installed on the pressure relief valve. Nipple drinker pressure relief valves are available in two forms on the market. In some models, they are equipped with a direct pressure valve, and in other models, they do not have a direct valve. The direct pressure valve is responsible for creating the input line pressure completely and without any drop on the nipple lines. Therefore, the presence of a direct pressure valve is of great help when giving vaccines and also when washing the nipple lines.
5. Drinking system winch:
The drinking system winch is used to adjust the drinking lines for washing the plates and changing the height of the lines due to changes in the age of the flock. If the drinking lines are not adjusted properly, it can cause water to spill and cause the bedding to become wet, or the lack of sufficient water for the bird will cause a decrease in meat quality and the speed of weight gain.
6. Drinking system tow rope:
The drinking system tow rope is used to connect all the equipment of the nipple drinking system to each other, and the connection with the tow rope is made for the ease of use of these devices, machinery, and also for the further mechanization of the poultry farm. Because poultry houses are very large and setting up each device individually is a very difficult and time-consuming task, the devices are connected in series using wire ropes.
7. Drinking water hanger:
Drinking water hanger has the same purpose as wire ropes, only in places where there is high humidity and there is a possibility of rotting and tearing, the hanger is used instead of wire ropes. All drinking system equipment available or produced in Arian Manufacturing Industries is of the highest quality, so you can entrust the equipment of your poultry house and poultry farming project from zero to one hundred to Arian Manufacturing Industries with complete confidence.
