How can we help you?

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.

AquaChief Water Cup

AquaChief water cups are a great drinking water solution for all ages of growing pigs. (Shown: A pair of AquaChief cups installed in a wean-to-finish barn.)

AquaChief water cups are widely used drinking solutions in pig nursery, wean-to-finish and hog finishing operations. Mounted to the gating with the included installation hardware, AquaChief cups ensure water is always present while reducing the amount of waste that can be caused by spraying and run-off.
