Water Awareness and It's Forgotten Importance    Each and every farming enterprise should have their water supply checked twice a year.     Good Quality Drinking Water combined with a balanced feeding program, will maximize production and help maintain animal health.     The following graph illustrates the results of 770 water samples assayed in our laboratory for Total Coliform Count from November 1, 2005 thru October 30, 2006. 50 % tested positive for Coliforms. Agri Analysis, Inc. Recommends the Following Strategy:    1) If a farmer has not had their water tested, make arrangements to have it tested at Agri Analysis, Inc.    2) Problems uncovered should be addressed and handled by a professional     3) Once a problem is fixed, have their water re-checked to be sure quality has been restored.     4) A water source should be checked twice a year.    We recommend our Farm Livestock Bundle & Total Coliform Count.  This package will insure all issues have been addressed. However, if this particular test package is not suited for a particular farm, please consult our web-site, price guide or the informational sheet provided for additional tests and information.    Agri Analysis, Inc. receives testimony after testimony from professionals as well as farmers, stating "Why did I wait so long to have my water tested?" One farmer in particular found high levels of coliforms and mineral counts. After he put in a water quality system, he experienced a 15 pound per cow per day increase.
