Your cows need the best possible access to water when they are kept indoor. An unsuitable location of the drinking points can have a negative impact on the milk production or the growth of the animals. Therefore, it is important to consider the drinking behaviour within the layout of the buildings, starting in the earliest phase of the construction project of the building.

The diagrams on this page show the ideal locations of the drinking points depending on the building layout:
OUR ADVICES
1 The access above the drinking point must be at least 60 cm wide, otherwise the animals can drink less easily and less quickly, and they are prone to lapping.
2 For calves, we recommend the use of drinkers with constant water level or types that are specially adapted to their morphology (e.g. BABYLAB).
3 Location of the drinkers near the service aisle makes maintenance and inspection of their good working order easier.
