Feedlot & Cow-Calf Farm Water Treatment with Oxy Blast, pH Control, Ozone or Puroxi Descaler
Healthier Cattle Through Better Water
Water is often the most overlooked input on a farm—yet it affects every aspect of animal health and performance. At Puroxi Alberta, we specialize in customizing water treatment solutions for feedlots and cow-calf farms using Oxy Blast, blended acid for pH control, ozone oxidation, and our Puroxi Descaler.
Why Water Quality Matters in Beef Production
Water impacts:
- Feed conversion efficiency
- Daily gains and overall growth rates
- Health and disease resistance
- Death loss and treatment costs
- Milk production in nursing cows
Cattle that drink clean, oxygen-rich, mineral-balanced water simply perform better.
Common Health & Disease Challenges Linked to Water
In Cow-Calf Operations:
- Scours in calves – from high sulfates, pathogens, or poor hydration
- Low milk production – worsened by high sodium and hardness
- Reproductive issues – related to poor water palatability and imbalance
- Weak immunity – waterborne contaminants add stress
In Feedlots:
- Liver abscesses – worsened by stress and poor hydration
- Respiratory disease (BRD) – more common in cattle drinking contaminated water
- Foot or hoof rot – worsened by dirty, contaminated water sources
- Poor feed conversion – reduced water intake affects digestion
- High treatment and death loss – low water quality often plays a hidden role
Our Proven Water Treatment Approach
Every water source is different. A certified water technician—guided by veterinarians and nutritionists—analyzes your water report and builds a custom solution with:
- Oxy Blast – a stabilized hydrogen peroxide based product to oxygenate water, reduce bacteria, and break down organic material.
- pH Control – balances water chemistry for improved intake and nutrient use.
- Ozone Oxidation – oxidizes iron, manganese, and sulfates, oxygenates water, and reduces bacterial load—setting the stage for more effective filtration and healthier animals.
- Puroxi Descaler – breaks the surface tension created by hard water, improving hydration, nutrient assimilation, and descaling lines and troughs.
We use flow meters and injection pumps for precise, dependable dosing based on your flow rate.
Common Contaminants We Address
- Pathogens & Bacteria – treated through Oxy Blast and or Ozone disinfection, helping reduce disease pressure and death loss
- Iron & Manganese – reduce water palatability and cause buildup
- Sulfates – contribute to scours, poor gains, and health issues
- Sodium – limits hydration and increases stress
- Hardness – leads to scale and reduced nutrient uptake
When necessary, we may recommend reverse osmosis or advanced filtration to support your water quality goals.
The Results You Can Expect
✔ Improved feed conversion and daily weight gains
✔ Lower death loss and veterinary costs
✔ Stronger calves and higher-performing cows
✔ Reduced disease flare-ups including hoof rot
✔ Cleaner waterlines, troughs, and less scale
✔ A healthier, more resilient herd
