Hog Slat offers a complete selection of watering solutions for pigs in all stages of production; including gestation, farrowing, nursery and finishing. Our cup and bowl drinkers help you conserve water and reduce the amount of clean water going straight into the pit. Multiple options for drinking nipples, mounting brackets and pipe assemblies are available to provide fresh water for your pigs and sows.
Cups & Bowls
Water cups and bowls provide an easily accessible water drinking point for pigs of all ages. Water cups help prevent water, supplement and medication waste by containing triggered water flow. Cup and bowl basins keep small amounts of water present at all times; helping young pigs find water quickly and encouraging regular water consumption for sows and growing hogs of all ages.
