Google 'stray voltage' and you'll probably find some information on it. Basically you take a multimeter, set it on the AC voltage setting and test from the water trough directly to the ground where you're standing. Technically I believe you're supposed to use a small resistor in series with the test leads to simulate some load. If you find some of the online articles it may give you the value of that resistor... Regardless if you use a resistor... test from the tank to earth and what you see is what you got.

You can also try doing your tests with your main entrance shut off and see if the tingle voltage isn't coming in on the neutral. That's a pretty common thing because of bad grounds on the utility end... and be damned if they'll ever admit that ~they~ have a problem. You may end up getting a tingle voltage filter if you find it's coming in on the neutral. The other option you have is to construct a steel reinforced concrete pad that has a grid of steel tied to the safety ground system. The idea is to create a voltage plane where the tank and the pad that the animals are standing on are all at the same voltage potential... thus they won't get a shock... except mabey when they step onto the pad.
