Call us on : Proper hydration is the single most impactful factor in dairy cattle productivity. A high-yielding cow requires 80–120 litres of clean water per day — and any restriction in water access directly reduces milk output, feed conversion and animal health. Delmer Group's livestock watering range delivers purpose-engineered cattle water troughs and drinkers built from food-grade SS 304 stainless steel, designed to withstand the demands of large-scale dairy and livestock operations across India and globally.
From compact wall-mounted tipper troughs for individual stalls to high-capacity 6-foot stainless steel troughs for open yards, every product in this collection is designed for easy cleaning, long service life and minimal water wastage. Explore our full range below and pair your watering solution with our dairy farm automation equipment for a complete, efficient farm setup.
Product & Category Overview
Delmer Group's livestock watering collection covers four core product categories:
1. Floor-Type Tipper Water Troughs
Self-draining, tip-to-clean floor troughs ideal for loose-housing systems and open cattle yards. Available as the Delmer Floor Type Tipper Water Trough and the heavy-duty DELMER Floor Type Tipper Water Trough for Cattle — both engineered for rapid daily cleaning without tools.
2. Wall-Type Tipper Drinking Troughs
Space-saving troughs that mount flush against stall walls, ideal for tie-stall and free-stall barns. The Wall Type Tipper Drinking Water Trough for Cattle minimises floor footprint while providing continuous water access.
3. SS 304 Fixed Cattle Drinking Troughs
Heavy-gauge stainless steel troughs for permanent installation in large herds. Choose the 4-foot / 85-litre trough for medium herds or the 6-foot / 130-litre trough for high-density operations.
4. Giraffe Water Trough (GT-300)
The Delmer GiraffeTrough GT-300 is a uniquely designed elevated trough that promotes a natural drinking posture, reduces neck strain and is particularly suited to large-breed cattle and buffalo.
Key Benefits
- Food-grade SS 304 construction — corrosion-resistant, non-porous and fully hygienic; no bacterial biofilm build-up compared to plastic or concrete alternatives
- Tipper/tip-to-clean mechanism — empties and rinses in seconds, supporting the daily cleaning discipline essential in milking farm operations
- Reduced water wastage — smooth interior surfaces and controlled fill volumes prevent spillage and contamination
- Improved milk yield — unrestricted, clean water access is directly correlated with higher daily milk production per animal
- Durable in Indian climate conditions — resistant to UV, heat, humidity and alkaline cleaning agents used in dairy hygiene protocols
- Compatible with automated farm setups — integrates seamlessly alongside milking machines, barn ventilation systems and automated feed management
Buyer's Guide — Choosing the Right Livestock Watering System
Selecting the correct watering equipment depends on four key variables: herd size, housing type, cleaning frequency and available floor space.
Tie-stall barn: Wall Type Tipper Trough | Free-stall / loose housing: Floor Type Tipper Trough or SS 304 Fixed Trough | Open yard / large herd: 6-foot SS 304 Trough (130L) | Large-breed cattle / buffalo: GiraffeTrough GT-300
In high-temperature regions, water intake increases by 20–30% during summer. Pair your watering system with barn fans and ventilation solutions to reduce heat stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much water does a dairy cow need per day?
A lactating dairy cow requires between 80 and 120 litres of clean, fresh water per day, depending on body weight, milk yield, ambient temperature and dry matter intake. Restricting water access by even a few hours can reduce daily milk yield by 10–20%.
What is the advantage of a stainless steel water trough over plastic or concrete?
SS 304 stainless steel troughs are non-porous, bacteria and biofilm cannot colonise the surface, and they resist the alkaline detergents used in dairy cleaning protocols. They have a service life of 15–20 years with normal use.
What is a tipper water trough and why is it recommended for dairy farms?
A tipper water trough pivots forward to completely drain and expose the interior for cleaning in under 60 seconds — a critical requirement where water quality directly affects animal health and milk quality. See our floor-type and wall-type tipper troughs.
How many water troughs do I need for my herd?
Provide one trough access point for every 15–20 animals in a free-stall system, and one dedicated trough per 2–4 animals in a tie-stall system. For large herds, the 6-foot SS 304 trough (130 litres) provides high-capacity access for groups of 20–30 animals.
What is the GiraffeTrough GT-300 and which animals is it designed for?
The Delmer GiraffeTrough GT-300 is an elevated trough that allows large-breed cattle and buffalo to drink in a natural, upright posture, reducing neck strain and encouraging longer drinking sessions.
Can livestock water troughs be used outdoors in Indian weather conditions?
Yes. Delmer's SS 304 stainless steel troughs are fully suitable for outdoor installation — resistant to high humidity, monsoon rainfall and temperatures exceeding 45°C. They do not rust, warp or degrade under UV exposure.
How do I clean and maintain a cattle water trough?
For tipper troughs, tip forward daily to drain completely, rinse with clean water and wipe with a food-safe sanitiser. For fixed SS 304 troughs, drain via the outlet valve, scrub with a soft brush and approved dairy detergent, then rinse thoroughly. Pair your routine with your milking machine cleaning protocols for a consistent farm hygiene schedule.
Does Delmer Group supply livestock watering equipment for large commercial dairy farms?
Yes. Delmer Group supplies watering equipment for operations ranging from small family farms to large commercial dairy complexes. For large-scale projects requiring integration with broader dairy farm automation systems, contact Delmer's technical sales team for a site-specific recommendation.
