Abstract: Described is a water distribution system (1) with a continuous main line (10). Drinking cups (20) are placed on drinking segments (11) of the main line (10). Between the drinking segments (11) the main line (10) has intermediate segments (13), which are situated at a higher level than the drinking segments (11). The drinking cups are situated at a level suitable for drinking, and the intermediate segments are situated at a level suitable for allowing the birds to pass through unhindered underneath them. The complete line system can be cleaned by means of flushing, and has no dead-end branches. Top edges (22) of the drinking cups (20) are advantageously fixed to vertically directed line segments (13). The water distribution system (1) is modular.

Abstract: A feeding installation has at least two feed containers from which feeds of different composition are conveyed by means of a feed conveying device to feeding devices. The feeding devices are connected to the feed conveying device by way of valves. The valves have two or more slide elements which are slidable relative to each other and are provided with an opening, for allowing or blocking the passage of feed.
