Clean Water

Cleaner water, healthier cows, higher production.

Liquid Mineral Services provide a range of products to effectively clean water. Clean water is essential to the cows health, performance and productivity. Contaminated or poor quality water can reduce water intake, harbor harmful bacteria and directly affect milk yields, growth and fertility. 

 

LMS's clean water key points:

  1. Supports hydration and digestion.

-Improves water taste, in turn increasing intake.

-Boosts oxygen levels for better digestion and immune response.

-Water makes up over 80% of a cows body and 85-90% of milk.

-Clean water is essential to ensuring proper rumen function, nutrient absorption and digestion.

 

  1. Reduces disease risk.

-Reduces the risk of mastitis.

-Dirty, stagnant water can carry pathogens like E.coli, salmonella and Leptospira.

-Dirty water can lower milk yield by 10-20%

.-Clean water reduces the risk of: scour in calves, mastitis, lameness, reproductive issues.

 

3.Improves feed efficiency.

Cows that drink clean, palatable water eat more, ruminate better and in turn produce more milk/gain weight more efficiently. 

 

  1. Prevents biofilm and algae in troughs and lines.

Biofilm and algae can harbor bacteria, reduce flow and palatability and cause chronic infections. 

 

  1. Maintains electrolyte and PH balance.

Clean, neutral PH water supports metabolic balance which is vital to the cow, particularly at high stress points in the season such as serving and calving. 

 

  1. Boosts overall performance.

Cows with access to clean water drink more, produce more milk, have increased reproductive performance and show fewer health problems overall.

 

 

Clean water isn't a luxury, it's a critical input for herd health and productivity.
