Livestock Water Check

Clean, balanced drinking water is a critical part of livestock nutrition. Livestock Water Check provides insight into the microbiological and mineral composition of water, helping you recognise issues early and maintain healthy, productive animals.

What is Livestock Water Check?

Livestock Water Check is an analysis that determines what is present in drinking water for cattle, poultry and other livestock. By measuring microorganisms, minerals, salts and pH, the test indicates whether the water supports animal health or requires corrective action.

Good water quality is essential for growth, welfare and efficient feed utilisation. Regular monitoring ensures that changes in source, storage or piping do not go unnoticed.

Why water quality matters in livestock management

Water composition changes over time. What was once suitable may no longer be optimal. Poor-quality water can reduce resistance, slow growth, affect fertility and compromise milk production. In young animals, it may delay development and increase vulnerability to disease.

Analysis results provide clarity, allowing farmers to adjust treatment, cleaning and mineral balance to maintain animal performance and prevent economic loss.

When to use Livestock Water Check

Livestock Water Check is valuable when you want to:

• Maintain healthy growth and resistance
• Prevent reduced feed intake due to taste or contamination
• Improve performance in young stock or early lactation
• Monitor mineral balance and pH in drinking systems
• Know exactly what animals ingest through water

Clear results make it easier to adjust water treatment, sanitation, or mineral supplementation.
