yield of milk from cattle
Forum: Drinking Watreer for Cattle
Dear Seniors
please guid me what type of water required to get maximum yeild of milk from cattle (Cross bred). Can some body guide me that what should be the PH, EC, chloride,calcium,magnessium,carbonates etc for a cattle drinking water to get maximum result.
At the Animal Health Service we use the following criteria for good water for milk cattle:
Cattle
Good bad
pH 5 – 8,5 4 en 9
ammonia (mg/L 2 10
nitrite (mg/L) 0,1 1,0
nitrate (mg/L) 100 200
Chlorid (mg/L) 250 2000
sodium (mg/L) 800 1500
Sulphate (mg/L) 100 250
Iron (mg/L) 0,5 10
Manganese (mg/L) 1,0 2,0
Hardness (°German) 15 25
COD (mg/L) 50 200
Hydrogen sulphide not detectable ( 0,02 mg/L)
E. coli (cvu/mL) 100 100
total col. Form units (22 °C) 100 000 100 000
Drinking water for cattle is a useful typic for milk cattle as well as humans. The chemical characters of drinking water
are asunder,
pH range [equal] 6.5-8.5 ppm
TDS [equal] 300-500 ppm
Nitrate as Nitrogen [equal] 1.0 ppm
Chloride [equal] 250 ppm
Potassium [equal] 10 ppm
Sulphate [equal] 250 ppm
Sodium [equal] 50 ppm
Magnesium [equal] 50 ppm
Calcium [equal] 100 ppm
Choloride [equal] 01 ppm
Iron ( Fe) [equal] 0.3 ppm
Zinic (Zn) [equal] 3.0 ppm
Arsenic [equal] 0.01ppm
Copper [equal] 1.0 ppm
Lead [equal] 0.01ppm
Manganese [equal] 0.05 ppm
Selenium [equal] 0.01 ppm
Carbon tetrachloride [equal] .002 ppm
