Windmill Aeration Systems and Windmill Air Pumps Help Cattle Gain up to 25% more weight Studies conducted by the Canada Alberta Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture (CAESA) have proven that if cattle drink fresh water out of troughs instead of non-aerated water straight out of the dugouts/ponds they can gain over 20% more weight in the same periods of time.
Two separate trials were conducted at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Substation, near Stavely, Alberta.
1st Trial (33 day long trial):
- Comparing the weight gain of Cows Drinking out of a Dugout/Pond compared to Cows drinking out of a Fresh Water Trough
- Comparing the weight gain of Calves Drinking out of a Dugout/Pond compared to Calves drinking out of a Fresh Water Trough
Results:
- Cows Drinking Straight out of Dugout/Pond lost .2 kg
- Cows Drinking out of Fresh Water Troughs gained 7.4 kg
- Calves Drinking Straight out of Dugout/Pond 26.3 kg
- Calves Drinking out of Fresh Water Troughs gained 33.9 kg
2nd Trial (71 day long trial)
- Comparing the weight gain of Steers Drinking out of a Dugout/Pond compared to Steers drinking out of Fresh Water Trough.
Results:
- Steers Drinking Straight out of Dugout/Ponds gained .93 kg per/day
- Steers Drinking Straight out of Fresh Water Troughs gained 1.21 kg per/day
23 % increase in weight production
The Fresh Water was delivered to the trough via a Koenders Windmill and a Koenders Windmill Air Driven Pump (1 kg = 2.2 lbs)
