Bar-Bar-A Equipment Company Helps Decrease the Spread of the West Nile Virus with New Livestock Waterer

Farmington, UT September 24, 2003- Bar-Bar-A Equipment Co. is introducing it's newest non-electric, automatic livestock watering unit that will help curb the current West Nile Virus threat. With the death of approximately 5,000 horses and 246 humans in 2002 this product will assist in lowering the mosquito population and the effects thereof.

Farmington, UT (PRWEB) September 25, 2003 --Currently many farm animals are watered by various methods, from buckets to old bathtubs or any other device that can hold water. Standing stagnant water becomes a fertile breeding ground for mosquitoes, the carriers of the West Nile Virus. Bar-Bar-A's method of watering animals leaves no water in the basin after drinking.

The Bar-Bar-A works much like a drinking fountain for humans. Each drink of water the animal drinks is fresh. After the animal finishes drinking the unused water drains to a below ground drain field. There is never any standing water for mosquitoes to lay eggs. After a surprise visit from the local county mosquito abatement unit they found no mosquitoes in the Bar-Bar-A barns and property.

Bar-Bar-A Equipment Co. is a Utah based company, with origins stemming from a 1982 experience the inventor had with his horse being repeatedly shocked by an electrically heated watering unit. The experience was later conceptualized with one of the country's first non-electric automatic waterers. Since then the company's vision has been to create products that are friendly to animals and the environment.
