Abreuvoir

A trough is an elongated large open container which serves mainly the absorption of pet food or drinking water for humans and animals. A trough is generally in a fixed place directly on the ground, in contrast to a portable bucket.

Examples are potions on pastures or the catch basin of water points in the mountains. The latter thus represent the simplest form of a fountain dar.

Troughs for cattle feed in stalls ( pig trough ) were originally, increasingly made ​​of wood and stone.

A fixed on the wall of cattle, donkey or horse stable food container is called a manger ( cf. Nativity scene ).
