Piglet Drinking Cup
Low-flow piglet cup sized for creep and nursery pens, with a transparent bowl so intake can be seen.
PlasticLow flowPiglet
Product Overview
Piglets drink small amounts often. A full-flow drinker either soaks the creep area or frightens the animal off; a low-flow cup sized to a piglet mouth delivers what it needs without wetting the nest.
The transparent bowl version, code 22091, measures 124 × 60 mm and lets the stockperson see at a glance whether the cup is holding water and whether the litter is using it.

Why Buyers Specify This Product
Flow matched to a piglet
Low flow means the animal drinks rather than backs away, and the creep stays dry.
Visible water level
A transparent bowl shows immediately whether the cup is working and being used.
Small footprint in a creep
124 × 60 mm fits in the creep area without taking lying space.
Packed for volume orders
63 pieces per carton in a 450 × 450 × 330 mm box.
Problems It Solves
Creep areas get wet from oversized drinkers
Low flow keeps the nest dry.
Nobody notices a blocked piglet drinker
A clear bowl shows the fault from the alley.
Piglets fail to start drinking after weaning
A cup sized to the animal is the easiest first drinker to learn.
Who It Is For
- Farrowing crates with creep areas
- Nursery rooms taking freshly weaned pigs
- Farms troubleshooting poor post-weaning water intake
One-factory supply
Flooring, penning, feeding, water and climate are made on the same site, so a room can be specified and shipped as one order.

Materials and Manufacturing
Injection-moulded polypropylene. The Piglet Drinking Cup is injection-moulded on JGM's own presses in Ningbo. Polypropylene granulate is dried, dosed and shot into a steel tool, so the part that leaves the press is the part the tool was cut for — there is no secondary forming stage where the dimension can drift. Colour is added as masterbatch at the press, which is why colour goes all the way through the part instead of sitting on it as a coating.
Customisation Options
- Sizes and sections produced to customer requirement on a full-container order
- Colour matched to your existing equipment where the material allows
- Lengths cut to your room rather than to a catalogue dimension
- OEM and private-label production accepted
- Packing and carton marking to your import requirements
Quality Control
- First-off part from every tool change checked against the drawing before the run continues
- Shot weight monitored through the run as the check on wall thickness and fill
- Surface and edge inspection on every part as it is packed
- Assembled items function-checked before boxing

Comparison
How It Compares With Other JGM Products
| Alternative | When to choose it instead |
|---|---|
| Drinking Cup | Move to the standard bite cup once pigs are through the nursery stage. |
| Drinking Bowl | Sow drinkers in the same crate use the cast and stainless float bowl. |
| Water Control Valve | Regulate pressure to the piglet line separately from the sow line where possible. |

Installing and Running It
Step 1
Mount low, at the standing shoulder height of a piglet, not at the sow's drinker height.
Step 2
Regulate the piglet line pressure separately where the system allows it.
Step 3
Check the bowl daily in the first week after weaning — visible water is the point of the clear body.
Step 4
Clean the bowl at batch change so the transparency stays useful.
Answers
Piglet Drinking Cup FAQs
What size is the piglet cup?
Code 22091 measures 124 × 60 mm, which fits a creep area without taking lying space.
Why a transparent bowl?
So you can see from the alley whether the cup is holding water and whether the litter has found it.
How many per carton?
63 pieces in a 450 × 450 × 330 mm carton.
Can it run off the same line as the sow drinkers?
It can, but a separately regulated piglet line gives better control of flow at the cup.
