Pekino
The cup drinker for ducks
Pekino is a drinker for ducks developed by Big Dutchman in cooperation with the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences and other experienced experts. The Pekino drinker ideally meets the biological requirements of ducks regarding water. Not only can the ducks easily drink from the cup, they can also wash their bill and submerge their entire head thanks to the cup’s special design. These are important prerequisites to keep the ducks healthy, and thus lead to ideal fattening results.
Furthermore, the ducks are able to carry out their natural behaviour such as dabbling, straining and preening. Pekino is an additional water source and should be combined with conventional nipple drinkers. The drinker line should be installed above the plastic slats where such flooring is used.
