The automatic watering system developed by BigFarm is an advanced technological structure designed to provide water hygiene, controlled consumption, and maximum efficiency in modern poultry houses. Fully compatible with all layer, chick, broiler, and breeder cage models, this system offers long-lasting and trouble-free use in the industry with its PVC square-shaped pipe structure, stainless steel nipples, and smart water drainage mechanisms.
The watering line operates via PVC square-profiled irrigation pipes specifically designed to deliver equal water to each cage section. The advantages of PVC lines include:
Corrosion Resistance: Offers a long service life thanks to its non-corrosive structure.
Constant Water Pressure: Maintains stable water pressure, ensuring equal flow from every nipple.
Hygiene and Cleaning: Provides easy cleaning possibilities and minimizes bacterial growth.
Mechanical Strength: Shows high resistance to impacts and temperature fluctuations within the poultry house.
This technological infrastructure ensures uninterrupted and hygienic water distribution even during the most intensive production periods.
The stainless steel nipples that form the foundation of BigFarm watering systems feature a precision flow mechanism designed to optimize water consumption. Depending on the model and livestock type:
Layer Cages: 2–3 nipples per section
Chick Cages: A total of 6 nipples (3 fixed + 3 with 360° rotation)
Broiler and Breeder Cages: A total of 16 nipples on double lines
This system ensures easier access, minimum water waste, hygienic consumption, and balanced growth and development for animals of all age groups. The specific flow sensitivity of each nipple allows birds to take only the amount of water they need, thereby reducing water costs and eliminating the risk of wetness inside the poultry house.
Specialized structures located beneath the nipples are designed to prevent excess water from reaching the floor or the manure belt. Depending on the model, this system is implemented as:
V-shaped water drainage troughs
Deep and large-volume drip cups
Through this technology, the manure belt remains dry, preventing the rise of bacteria and ammonia caused by moisture. As the floor stays dry, respiratory diseases are reduced, and a more hygienic poultry house environment is established. This detail is a crucial factor that directly enhances animal health and productivity, especially in high-density poultry houses.
The medicator system, which works in full integration with the BigFarm watering line, is an advanced dosing technology that ensures the homogeneous mixing of medicines, vitamins, and vaccines into the water in modern poultry farming. The medicator both simplifies health management in production processes and offers precise control over medicine consumption.
The medicator system automatically measures the flow rate passing through the water line and mixes the medicine or vitamin into the water according to the set percentage value. This ensures:
Every chicken receives an equal amount of medicine and vitamins
Vaccination processes are carried out safely and in a short time
Human error is minimized, and a homogeneous mixture is guaranteed
BigFarm medicators feature a durable body and high-precision internal mechanisms for long-term use:
Energy Efficiency: Requires no electricity; it operates entirely by water flow
Durability: Manufactured from materials resistant to chemical contact
Low Maintenance: Minimizes the risk of clogging and malfunction, making it a reliable health management tool
By using the medicator system, disease spread in flocks is reduced, the use of vitamins and supplements becomes easier, and rapid intervention is possible during crisis periods. This structure reduces mortality rates, improves FCR values, and enhances growth performance, especially in large-capacity commercial poultry houses.
