Water testing should be done on a regular basis

Water Quality for Horses Understanding Bacterial counts of water used on farms horses can be supplied from a private well,

public source of water, river, pond or lake. Public water suppliers

eg municipal water suppliers are responsible for quality assurance >> << water comes to you. If you have your good is your responsibility

to ensure quality water for you and your animals and

in order to ensure the safety of groundwater. Drinking water is usually tested for the presence or absence of

two groups of bacteria E. coli and total fecal bacteria koliformnyh. These bacteria are indicators

availability >> << animal waste and wastewater. Fecal coliforms are present in large numbers in the intestinal

maintenance people and warm-blooded animals. They die very easily

when they are outside the body. Their presence in well water indicates

, relatively recent contamination and a short distance of travel. Water

contain is ECal koliformnyh bacteria should not be taken without

adequate electronic processing. by boiling or disinfection (1). Ministry of Health provides bacterial analysis of water in Ontario. Contact your local health department sterile bottles and sampling instructions and

processing. Water testing should be done on a regular basis

in different seasons and in different situations precipitation. If you have a problem, more specific second test should be done

distinguish, for example, if a high number of intestinal is fecal coliforms >> << from animal or human wastes. Tests for specific chemicals

toxic metals, pesticides, herbicides, solvents, or organic compounds

can be done. Water intended for livestock should have a total content of bacteria

less than 200 bacteria per 100 ml. water, but based on scientific research

literature and practical experience, livestock can tolerate the level

1 million bacteria per 100 ml. Water (2). Ontario drinking water objective for human consumption >> << state that the total bacteria Escherichia coli, should not be present for 5 or more intestinal

bacteria per 100 ml. water using strattera dosing the most probable number

(MPN) test or a membrane filter (MF) test and should not be present >> << within 48 hours when using presence-absence (PA) test (3). Calves

can contract diarrhea (diarrhea) in drinking water that contains enteric bacteria

number greater than 1 koliformnyh bacteria in 100 ml. water. However, older animals tolerate concentrations of 20-50

Coliforms per 100 ml. with water without adverse effects (4) (5). Fecal coliforms should not be detected in any sample for any

above tests. As a general recommendation, the minimum distance from any potential source >> << pollution, e. was septic, manure storage or live

animals must be 50 feet for the bored hole and at least 100 feet

for a well or surface water sources such as rates. . << >>
