Stainless steel nipple drinkers offer a multitude of benefits for swine management. They are highly durable and resistant to corrosion, which means they can last a long time without the need for frequent replacements. This material is also easy to clean and resistant to staining and discoloration, ensuring that the water supply remains uncontaminated. Additionally, stainless steel is heat resistant, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. The design of these drinkers keeps the water clean and free of dirt and debris, which is crucial for the health of the livestock. They have been shown to decrease or prevent the spread of diseases such as Trichomonosis, Mycoplasma synoviae, and Coccidiosis, which are common in poultry. Moreover, when installed properly, horizontal nipples will not freeze in winter, providing a consistent water supply even in cold climates. The efficiency of these systems reduces water waste, as the nipple dispenses a small amount of water each time it is pecked, with no dripping from the valve or leakage from the container. Overall, stainless steel nipple drinkers are a cost-effective, hygienic, and reliable watering solution that promotes the well-being of poultry and contributes to a more efficient farming operation. Our IVS Model 04- 3511 nipple features adjustable flow rate with three position orifice. Suitable for high and low pressure. 100% Stainless Steel for superior quality and durability.

The use of these digits with a compatible tattoo plier ensures a quick and efficient process, causing minimal discomfort to the animal.  Tattoo pliers offer a range of benefits for livestock management, primarily serving as a permanent method of identification. This is essential for tracking breeding records, health, and growth over time. Unlike other methods, tattoos do not need frequent replacement or maintenance, making them cost-effective in the long run. The process is relatively quick and simple, requiring less preparation compared to branding. When used correctly with high-quality ink, tattoos are distinctive, permanent, and comply with animal identification legislation and breed regulations. Additionally, tattooing with pliers is adaptable to various livestock and can be performed with minimal infrastructure. It's important to use the correct equipment and maintain cleanliness to prevent infection and ensure the legibility of the tattoos Tattooing an animal using pliers is a precise process that requires attention to detail to ensure the tattoo is permanent and legible. Begin by assembling the necessary equipment: tattoo pliers, the correct set of digits, tattoo ink, and cleaning supplies such as alcohol and rags. First, secure the animal in a chute or head catch to minimize movement. Clean the ear with alcohol to remove any dirt or wax, and ensure it's dry. Insert the chosen digits into the pliers and test the alignment on a piece of cardboard. When ready, position the pliers on the part of the ear that is light in color and free from hair, avoiding any ribs or veins. Apply firm pressure to ensure the needles penetrate the skin. Immediately after, rub tattoo ink into the punctured area, which helps in marking the digits and promotes healing due to the antiseptic properties of the ink. Clean and dry the equipment after use to maintain its condition for future applications. Set of letters for 3/8˝ Standard tattoo plier Exchangeable with Stone pliers ‍
