Pasture drinkers - water supply is often underestimated

A sufficient supply of water is essential for the health of the animals on the pasture. Especially on hot summer days, it has a decisive influence on animal welfare. It is essential that the water supply is adapted to the farm, animal species and number of animals. Our range is just as varied as the farms themselves. Whether you are looking for a pasture drinker, pasture pump or a water trough for grazing barrels in plastic, grey cast iron or cast aluminium, we are your partner.

Large grazing trough - enough water for the whole herd

Cows prefer to drink from an open water surface, as they immerse their mouths approx. 3-4 cm into the water when drinking. Tongue drinkers can impair the natural drinking behaviour of cattle and often do not ensure sufficient water flow. If you want to ensure a species-appropriate water supply for your herd, the Kerbl grazing trough with a capacity of 550 litres or 1000 litres is ideal.

The unbreakable, dimensionally stable and UV-resistant special material, the protected water connection and float valve, as well as an additionally reinforced inner edge and optimised float position for better water level regulation are the distinguishing features of the drinking trough. The smooth surface for easy cleaning, the stackable design and the oval shape for easy loading also offer you maximum convenience.

To the pasture drinkers

Are you looking for a slightly smaller, cheaper alternative? Then we recommend our water trough with a capacity of 150 litres or 380 litres. UV-stabilised, it is suitable for outdoor use and impresses with its ease of use and the option of retrofitting a suspension float valve.

Water bowls for pasture barrels - The simple solution

If there is no water connection in the pasture, grazing barrels are often used and fitted with a drinking basin for grazing barrel cultivation. Here too, we have the right products and solutions for you. You can choose between a plastic, grey cast iron or cast aluminium water bowl:

Attaching a double-float drinking trough allows several animals to drink at the same time and provides an open water surface for species-typical drinking. The S60 double-float drinker for pasture barrel attachment from Kerbl is suitable for up to 40 cattle.

Fully assembled, it is very easy to connect to the pasture barrel. A flap on the top for quick access to the valve and two drain plugs for easy cleaning also offer the user maximum convenience.

Here you will find a selection of pasture drinkers and pumps

Pasture pump - Always fresh and clean water

Water should be drawn from a natural body of water using a pasture pump. The animals use their heads to pump the water into the drinking bowl on their own. The pasture pumps developed by Kerbl are characterised by their sturdy cast iron construction and their extremely smooth double-stroke function. An extensive range of accessories for our pasture pumps rounds off the range perfectly.

New to the range is our pasture pump specially designed for suckler cow husbandry. An additional drinking bowl for the calf makes it easier for the young animals to drink.

Thermal troughs - The solution for year-round grazing

Are your animals out on pasture all year round and do you want to ensure they have enough water during the winter months? Then we recommend our Uno and Duo Thermal Trough.

These troughs are frost-proof down to approx. -30 °C and do not require a power connection. This is made possible by the high level of insulation provided by the double wall with thermal foam filling and the water flowing in.

Even in summer, the thermal troughs ensures a pleasant water temperature for your animals.
The Uno Thermal Trough with a volume of 40 litres is suitable for supplying water to up to 15 animals. The large Duo Thermal Trough with a capacity of 100 litres is suitable for up to 30 animals.
