Dugout Aeration in Canada
Dugout Aeration in Canada
Farm and agricultural operations across Canada, in provinces such as Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, depend on their dugouts for a clean water source. An efficient and dependable dugout aeration system is a must to ensure good water quality and agricultural success. As dugouts naturally age, they become anaerobic, prompting water quality to plummet. Aeration will prevent this from happening, and can even reverse this process in an older dugout.
Dugout aeration in provinces across Canada have additional benefits for all sectors of agricultural industry.
Dugout Aeration Solutions for Livestock Drinking Water on Canadian Farms
Aerating your livestock’s water source is key to maintaining water quality and boosting performance. Studies show that cattle with access to aerated water experience increased weight gain, with a 9-10% improvement in calves and 8-9% in steers compared to those drinking unaerated water. Aeration helps reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and keeps the water fresh, promoting better overall health. With cleaner, oxygenated water, livestock are more likely to stay hydrated, which directly supports better growth, digestion, and immune function.
The investment in water quality can lead to significant profit increases in your cattle operation. The Beef Cattle Research Council offers a calculator found here to calculate the economic benefit your cattle operation can have from installing an aeration system.
Dugout Aeration for Irrigation Water
For agriculture operations that pull water from dugouts for irrigation purposes, water aeration can have extensive benefits
Aerated water not only increases oxygen levels, but it also helps remove up to 95% of phosphates from the water. Additionally, aeration reduces the release of harmful hydrogen gases from the pond and helps lower pH levels in irrigation water. These improvements lead to healthier water quality, which supports better livestock hydration and plant growth.
