Roasters/PFAs

The best of our world famous VAL-CO nipples, the Roaster nipples (VR150 series), are made from the hardest quality stainless steel used in the industry and individually turned on CNC – Swiss precision lathes.

The Roaster nipples have an optimal triple seal that, with proper management, makes the use of drip cups unnecessary. The Roaster has a thick wear-resistant nipple pin and gives more water than the VBL150 drinker. This nipple is particularly suitable for heavier animals such as broilers, breeding animals and ducks with a high water requirement.

The VBL150 drinker is made of the same top quality stainless steel and with the same precision machining but has a thinner nipple pin, gives less water and is designed for lighter broilers, laying hens and rearing animals.

The Quencher line (VQ150 series) is also made with the same precision from less hard stainless steel and is an interesting alternative to the Roaster in terms of price when used in combination with a drip cup where this is desirable for footpad problems or for animal-friendly / concept production.

Double Anti-Roost Wire

VAL-CO has developed a double anti-roost wire for its watering systems after recent inquiries from the poultry industry. Middle support bracket for anti-roost wires is installed every 1.5 m on the length of the watering lines. The system is aimed for breeder production, where shocking wires are no longer permitted and for farms that raise the males from layer production that may no longer be culled in the hatcheries.

The system is an addition to the VAL-CO nipple-drinking system and can also be used with the Big-Tom turkey drinker system and other watering system. As can be expected from VAL-CO the system is a strong and durable solution allowing farmers making money cost-effectively and without any problems for years to come.

Aqua-V™

The Aqua-V drinking nipple is the latest development in drinking nipples and has been developed for enriched and aviary systems, among other things. The Aqua-V is made from the same precision stainless steel process and is offered as an alternative to the VBL150 in standard and High-Flow variants.

The nipple has a slightly fluorescent color which is easily found by the animals, even in systems where lighting is not optimal. The Aqua-V offers the same top quality you would expect from VAL-CO nipples in a bright new color with the strong price advantage of the Quencher.

The BigTom turkey drinker is suitable during the entire production period, providing turkeys with enough water for every age from poults through heavy toms. A BigTom cup is suitable for 30-40 animals up to 7 weeks and 20-30 animals from 7 weeks. The one-sided suspension gives nearly 360 degree access to the water, allowing large birds to drink easily. This makes BigTom the ideal turkey drinking system which can also be used for (uncapped) laying hens and breeding animals.

Features & Benefits

• Single drinking system for the lifetime of a flock
• Accommodates birds of any age. Simply raise water lines and pressure as the birds grow
• Each drinker accommodates 40 turkeys up to 7 weeks of age, and 20-30 hens or light toms (or 20 heavy toms) after 7 weeks
• Stainless steel reinforcement increases cup lifespan
• Single attachment point for almost 360° access to water
