Animal husbandry
We make water effective –
for the benefit of your animals and your track record
The importance of water in animal husbandry cannot be overstated. Aquadea products are therefore a must for the successful and innovative farmer. Because this is where the effectiveness of water is clearly demonstrated:
Cattle: drinking water
For every liter of milk a cow produces, it must consume up to 3 liters of water. This equates to up to 180 liters of water per cow per day. Dry cows, bulls and steers need between 50 and 80 liters a day. If the cow consumes too little water, this has a direct negative effect on her health and her milk and meat yield. It has been shown time and again that cows and cattle prefer Aquadea-revitalized water to normal water.
In addition to the quantity of water, water quality is the decisive factor for health and milk quantity. And this is where Aquadea revitalized water scores points across the board.
Cattle: Showers
Not only humans enjoy a fresh shower, but also cattle. As cattle originally come from cold climates, they are suffering more and more from the rising temperatures caused by climate change. Cooling off in the hot months is therefore a must. Surrounded by the fine water mist from the Aquadea nozzles, the cattle feel completely comfortable. Milk and meat yields increase while at the same time being cost-efficient. The result: a significant increase in yield and profit!
Pigs: drinking water
In addition to the quantity of water consumed, the water quality is decisive in improving the vitality, performance and thus also the behavior of the pigs. Breeders confirm that swirled water is much better accepted by the animals than non-revitalized water.
As a result, the animals not only drink significantly more, but you as the breeder also enjoy a number of benefits from revitalized water:
Pigs: Showers
If you pamper your pigs with a micro-soul equipped with Aquadea nozzles, they will thank you in many ways. The micro-soul cools the air in the room and, in addition to active thermoregulation, encourages the pigs to playfully drink water during the light spraying process. The benefits of the Aquadea drinking water supply are therefore multiplied. The result: more animal welfare and a clear profit plus for you!
Horses: Drinking water
Water is a crucial factor for the health and performance of horses. Horses are large animals with a sensitive water balance, and an adequate supply of good quality water is essential for various physiological functions and general metabolism. The water requirements of horses can vary depending on age, stress or circumstances:
Especially when horses tend to drink too little, the water swirled with Aquadea nozzles shows its full strength: these animals consume significantly more water, so that the desired vitality is restored.
For you as a breeder or hobby rider, the use of Aquadea offers the following advantages:
Horses: Showers
Many horses enjoy being showered with water at higher temperatures. The water cleanses the skin and cools after work. Encrustations and sweat marks in the saddle area can be optimally cleaned. With a spray shower for horses, it is very easy to wash the sweat from the animal’s coat after work. This is important as dried sweat sticks to the coat and causes itching, which can lead to eczema and inflammation. Dried sweat can also cause pressure points and chafing in the saddle area. To prevent this, you should spray your horse with a horse shower after summer training.
Many horses really look forward to the pleasant cooling with the positive effects for you as breeder or owner:
Poultry: drinking water
As water is the main component of the body, it is often referred to as the most important “food”. Water deprivation leads to profound disorders after a short time. As non-ruminants, chickens are even more sensitive to a lack of water than ruminants, which have a certain reservoir of liquid in their forestomachs. Sufficient drinking water is therefore of crucial importance in poultry farming. Our customers’ experience shows that the animals prefer revitalized water to normal tap water and always drink enough water.
Aquadea products therefore offer the following advantages:
Poultry: air humidification
Ideally, the temperature in a henhouse should be between 16 and 18 degrees Celsius. Temperatures between 10 and 25 degrees Celsius are tolerated by the hens without any problems if they get used to them. On the other hand, high temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius can lead to heat stress.
Spraying water as a fine micro-mist (spray cooling) is particularly useful when barn temperatures are high and humidity is low. This is because dry air binds more moisture at high temperatures and the evaporative cooling cools the barn. Higher humidity makes it easier for the animals to breathe and also binds dust. However, excessive humidity should be avoided as it can lead to damp bedding. Spray cooling has another advantage: it allows essential oils to be distributed in the barn. The oils can bind dust and harmful gases and support optimum feed intake by the animals.
Fish farming
Water is the element in fish farming. Accordingly, the quality of the water is of fundamental importance for the stress resistance of the fish and their taste. This is where Aquadea ‘s crystal vortex chambers can show their full potential.
Aquadea products therefore offer the following advantages:
Slurry: Make your slurry even more valuable.
Even though liquid manure is a valuable raw material in agriculture, it is an irritant for most residents due to the unpleasant odor. The use of Aquadea nozzles when adding water promotes the formation of aerobic microorganisms and the decomposition of odorous substances, organic acids, mucilage, litter and feed residues. The addition of revitalized, swirled water prevents the formation of putrefaction products such as hydrogen sulphide, butyric acid, cadaverine etc., homogenizes the slurry, dissolves both floating and sinking layers and increases plant compatibility. Compared to normal oxygen aeration, which is often associated with a sharp rise in the pH value and the formation of ammonia, the pH value remains largely constant and there is no loss of nitrogen.
