This comprehensive test evaluates critical water parameters, ensuring the safety and quality of water for your animals' health and productivity. Whether for cattle, horses, poultry, or other livestock, this analysis offers actionable insights to optimize water management on your farm or ranch.

What’s Included in Your Analysis:

General Water Properties:

• Electrical Conductivity (EC): Measures water salinity, which can impact animal hydration and health.
• Total Soluble Salts (TSS) in ppm: Indicates the total concentration of dissolved salts, essential for maintaining safe levels for livestock consumption.
• Tons/Acre Foot of Dissolved Solids: Evaluates the total solid content for water usability.
• pH: Determines water acidity or alkalinity, crucial for digestion and nutrient absorption in livestock.

Key Chemical Components:

• Chlorides (Cl): High chloride levels can affect animal hydration and overall health.
• Carbonates (CO3) & Bicarbonates (HCO3): Influence water hardness and its suitability for consumption.
• Calcium (Ca): Vital for bone health and overall livestock wellness.
• Sodium (Na): Monitors sodium levels to prevent adverse effects on animals.
• Potassium (K): Supports metabolic and muscular functions in livestock.
• Magnesium (Mg): Balances essential nutrients for optimal health.

Specialized Metrics:

• Sulfates (SO4): Assesses sulfate concentrations, which in high amounts can cause digestive issues.
• Nitrates (NO3): Ensures nitrate levels are safe, preventing toxicity.
• Boron (B): Identifies potential toxicity that can impact animal health.
• Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR): Evaluates sodium’s effects on water usability.
• Iron (Fe): High iron levels can affect water palatability and livestock consumption.

Results and Recommendations:
