Installation for drinking cows with heated water
Comfortable keeping of cows necessarily provides for round-the-clock access of animals to drinking water of optimal temperature. A large amount of water consumed is necessary for high productivity of cows. The water temperature decreases along the length of the pipeline, in winter it is even possible for the water in the water supply to freeze. A device has been developed for the circulation supply of heated water to automatic water dispensers. When studying the decrease in water temperature in the water supply system, an experiment was implemented using a symmetrical composite plan of type Bf. The independent factors were the speed of water movement and the air temperature in the cowshed. An equation of the response surface is obtained that adequately describes the experimental area.
