Zusammenfassung:An automated watering trough is provided with a fluid supply line that automatically fills the trough to a desired volume through the use of a valve and actuator. A protective housing may be provided to substantially encase the valve and actuator, along with an optional overflow conduit, to reduce the incidence of contact between livestock and the automation components. The shell of the trough may be comprised of a recycled tire provided with a base plug, which may support the protective tower and automation components.
