Water borne diseases control in livestock through water troughs management system.

Abstract

This study aimed at designing a water trough management system that controls water borne diseases in livestock that come due to openness of the troughs. The commonly used methods for water supply to the cattle such as motion detections in a motion detector water pump system, animal nose operation in animal operated nose pump system and automatic water fountains are exposed to external factors like droppings of birds, dust carried by wind that contaminate the water and cause waterborne diseases hence infecting their cattle
