  1. Dairies • A single dairy cow can consume from 25 to 50 gallons of water per day. • Peroxide and Chlorine are commonly injected. pH adjustment is not widely practiced. • There is a strong correlation between water consumption and milk yield

  2. 4 Performance Goals • Higher volume of milk produced • Increase fat content in milk • Low somatic cell count • Increased breeding efficiency

  3. Dairy Cows • Somatic cell count (SCC) should be <100,000 cells per ml. Those greater than 300,000 indicate a cow with considerable amount of pathogens. • Somatic cell count is an indicator of milk quality. High numbers indicate high white blood cell counts responding to pathogenic bacteria.

  4. Fat content and Volume • Fat content in milk. The higher the better. Average percentage ranges from 3.6% (Holsteins) up to 5.2% for Jersey cows. • Dairy cows produce from 5 to 8 gallons of milk per day. Output is measured in pounds so that is up to 70 lbs. per day or about 13 tons per year.

  5. Dairy Well Pump

  6. Water Storage • Pressure Tank

  7. The use of a non-pressurized intermediate water storage reservoir provides many advantages in the dairy water system: • Supply ample water storage capacity at a low cost to meet daily water volume needs and peak flow rates. • Allow supply from multiple water sources. • Can serve as source for pressurized and non-pressurized uses. • Provide reception point for emergency water supply. • Water source for fire protection. SANITIZER INJECTION PUMPS: commonly used to inject sanitizers into water lines to drop hoses, back-flush units and cow sprinklers

  8. water consumption is comprised of the following end useswashing, cooling and drinking • Potable water for direct consumption by dairy animals • Cleaning water for CIP washing of parlor and milking system equipment. • Washdown water for cleaning of milking parlor surfaces and general sanitation. • Partial cooling (pre-cooling) of milk with well water (heat exchangers). • Water supply to water ring vacuum pumps (claw attached to teats). • Wash pen water use to clean cows prior to entering the milking parlor. • Evaporative cooling sprays [misting] for the dairy cow to reduce heat stress during hot weather and increase cow comfort. • Flush water for manure removal in confinement areas, holding area and milking parlor. • Fire protection

  9. Terminology • SANITIZER INJECTION PUMPS - commonly used to inject sanitizers into water lines to drop hoses, back-flush units and cow sprinklers. • Most chemical pumps are quoted in oz./ min.
