Mid Valley - Model Miraco - Cattle Water Troughs
Miraco has a long history of manufacturing reliable, one-piece, poly plastic livestock watering trough products. For dairy cattle watering, we carry Miraco cattle water troughs in 60, 90, and 110-gallon sizes (227, 340, 416 litres). They also come in 4′, 7′, and 10′ lengths (2, 2.5 and 3.7 metres approximately). Miraco cattle water troughs for sale are designed to fit in the centre between the stalls or they can be installed on either end of single stalls. They feature stainless steel anchor bolts, a sloped bottom with drain for easy cleaning, and a curved front for easy cow access. To ensure cleaner water, Mid Valley Manufacturing can also design and install a neck rail to prevent your dairy cattle from standing in the water.
Although it seems like a simple piece of the livestock watering system, your cattle water trough can make or break milk production. Dairy cow water intake needs to be at least 3 litres of water for every litre of milk they produce. Check out this web page on Water Needs & Quality Guidelines for Dairy Cattle.
Mid Valley manufactures galvanized and stainless steel water trough products for dairy cattle with unique design features:
- Durable steel manufacturing
- Tip-proof cattle water trough design
- Adjustable cow trough height
- Gravity flow and high-pressure line
With these cow water trough design features, you can ensure optimal watering. Our deep-water cattle troughs allow cows to submerge their muzzles, preventing them from drinking air with their water.
Since milk contains 87% water, easy cow drinking is vital to improved milk production. Our galvanized and stainless steel cattle watering troughs also feature our innovative “tipping water trough” design that has two distinct benefits:
- It allows farmers to tip the entire water trough, dumping out the water for easy cleaning.
- Plus, when the water is tipped it can help to clean the manure alley.
