Clean Troughs Improve Performance Farmers should consider water quality when planning and reviewing the water supplies for their livestock. If water quality is poor, livestock may drink less than they need, and on rare occasion, stop drinking altogether. When animals drink less, they eat less causing them to lose condition. If they are lactating, their milk production will reduce or cease. A dirty water trough presents water quality issues, including: High levels of water salinity Blue-Green algae Organic material Presence of heavy metals and chemicals. While most algae don’t pose a direct health concern, certain types of blue-green algae release toxins which can cause colic and diarrhoea. Algae also makes water less desirable to your livestock and can lead to reduced water intake. Having access to clean pathogen-free water is paramount for livestock well-being and survival, without it animals will become dangerously ill.
