Clean Water Clean Water System Healthy AnimalsWATER is referred to as the most essential nutrient for livestock health and production. Water aids in animal digestion, growth, production, and reproduction, regardless of the animal species...but not all water is equal! Water quality plays a crucial role in the health and productivity of livestock operations. Water quality can be adversely affected by the formation of biofilms in livestock waterers and water distribution systems, establishing a persistent reservoir for pathogenic bacteria, protozoan cysts (Cryptosporidium and Giardia), algae, molds and spores.WATER QUALITY | ANIMAL HEALTH Water quality may be altered by contaminants, such as mineral salts, toxins, heavy metals, microbial loads, debris, and agricultural practices. Most contaminants will reduce water intake, which results in a reduction in feed intake and a loss of production. The AquaSoar%u2122 water treatment system is significantly more effective in both biofilm removal and pathogen control when compared to hydrogen peroxide injection systems.WATER QUANTITY AND QUALITY The total water needs of livestock are met through a combination of the water contained in feed and consumed through drinking water. Livestock require water in sufficient quantities and sufficient quality for optimum health and growth. To this point, while the basic elements of water, H2O, remain the same, the rest of what is contained in water is not created equal.More effective than hydrogen peroxidelivestock1.888.376.6777 %u2022 www.crystalcreeknatural.com | 97
