Abstract

In ferro-cement, wire-meshes are filled with cement mortar. It is a composite, formed with closely knit wire mesh tightly wound round skeletal steel. Study was conducted with respect to application of ferro-cement for water trough construction which could be utilized for drinking water purpose for cattle’s and other domestic animals. Mixed design of cement and sand ratios 1:1, and casting of ferro-cement water trough was hand plastering. Water trough capacity was 170 litres which will be suitable for cattle, bullock and other domestic animals. Water requirement of animals was recorded as: cow (40-45 litres), bullock (45-55 litres), buffalo (45-50 litres). So, water trough is suitable for herd of 4 cows /buffalos/bulls. The cost required per ferro-cement water troughs was estimated as Rs.1230/-
