Livestock water treatment

Stock systems benefit from DELTAwater

South-west Queensland trading cattle property owner Andrew Woodrow says his investment in a DELTAwater unit paid for itself within 10 months by solving cattle health problems caused by high chloride and sodium levels in his bore water.

Andrew and his wife Annette run a steer growing operation, mainly Santa Gertrudis cross and Droughtmaster, which they turn-off after about 12 months. In a good season they can turn them off in 10 months. Andrew says the DELTA water treatment system allows them to consistently turn-off their cattle sooner.

“We are at least two months in front since putting the DELTA on; from a financial point of view, it has worked well in our favour.”

Andrew says it took just four days to notice a difference in his cattle.  The Australian-made water treatment system also solved a scouring problem that had arisen after they installed the bore.

“Now a beast comes into the trough with the DELTA-treated water, and I wonder when it’s going to stop drinking.”
