Animal watering stations having a liquid piping system including watering lines, a supply line, and a return line. The supply line supplying liquid simultaneous to all watering lines and the return line returning of liquid to a liquid reservoir. In this way, a circulation of the liquid can be realized in at least parts of the liquid piping system and on the other hand the parallel fluidic circuit of the watering lines enables an easy adapting of the liquid pressure at the drinking valves.

Animal drinking troughs have pressure reducers for reducing the higher pressure of the liquid supply to a low liquid pressure for supplying the animal drinking troughs. For various reasons, it is desired to change the reduced pressure. This takes place by adjustment of the pressure reducers. It is known to undertake such an adjustment with compressed air. This requires a separate compressed air source and a corresponding pipe system. The invention makes provision to adjust the pressure reducer hydraulically by means of the higher pressure of the liquid of the liquid supply. The energy required for adjusting the pressure reducers thereby provides the liquid pressure of the liquid supply. As a result, the pressure reducers according to the invention operate autonomously. A separate energy source for adjusting the pressure reducers is not required.

A method for cleaning a conveyor for agricultural products, such as eggs, and a conveyor for agricultural products, in which contaminants that adhere firmly to the conveyor are removed by the use of an ultrasonic cleaning bath into which a section of the conveyor is dipped with the aid of a deflecting unit. During the normal revolution of the conveyor chain, cleaning of the conveyor chain is carried out even during running operation of the conveying system by means of ultrasound and suitable cleaning agent. A conveyor chain having a multiplicity of rods that are connected to one another via chain links is transported in individual conveying segments of the conveyor. Lying on the conveyor chain, the agricultural products are transported. Deposits of contaminants onto the conveyor unavoidably occur during operation, such as, in particular, as a result of litter or feathers.

Drinking troughs for in particular poultry feature drinking valves arranged at regular intervals along a water supply line, with each drinking valve being assigned a water-collecting bowl (). The water-collecting bowls () are usually made of plastic. The water-collecting bowls () are cleaned with agents that contain aggressive substances, which are capable of damaging the plastic of the water-collecting bowls (). The invention is a water-collecting bowls () with a respective insert () made of a resistant material, thus making the water-collecting bowl () resistant to aggressive liquids, in particular cleansing agents.
