Improving Dairy Cattle Health and Productivity with Miraco Waterers
Welcome to the world of Miraco waterers, where our innovative waterers are designed to improve the health and productivity of your dairy cattle. For over 45 years, Miraco has been a leader in providing high-quality, durable, and easy-to-use waterers for livestock. In this page, we'll explore the benefits of Miraco waterers for dairy cattle and how they can help take your dairy operation to the next level.
Benefits of a Miraco
Increased water
consumption
Studies have shown that dairy cows provided with water through a Miraco waterer consume more water compared to traditional water troughs or nipple drinkers. This can help prevent dehydration, improve overall health, and reduce the risk of heat stress.
Improved milk
production
Improved milk production: Dairy cows provided with water through a Miraco waterer have been shown to have higher milk yields compared to cows supplied with water through traditional water troughs or nipple drinkers. The key is ensuring dairy cows have access to clean and fresh water in the correct quantity without waiting.
Better water
quality
Miraco waterers are designed to provide clean and fresh water to dairy cattle, with features like rounded edges and a sloped bottom to prevent the accumulation of dirt and debris. Additionally, Miraco waterers are resistant to corrosion and rust, which can impact water quality if the water comes into contact with these materials. By providing clean and fresh water to dairy cattle, Miraco waterers can help reduce the risk of waterborne diseases and promote overall herd health. This can save dairy farmers from expensive medical bills and lost revenue.
Energy Savings
Miraco waterers are designed to use less energy compared to traditional water troughs or nipple drinkers, which can help reduce overall energy costs. This feature is especially important for farmers who want to manage their energy costs.
All heated waterers come equipped with a 75 watt heat element and thermostat. E-Founts only require 4 kilowatts of electricity during a week of -32 C temperatures.
Cold weather
performance
In cold weather conditions, it is crucial to ensure that dairy cows have access to water year-round. Miraco waterers have been shown to be effective in preventing water from freezing, which can be a common issue with traditional water troughs or nipple drinkers. By ensuring that dairy cattle have access to unfrozen water, Miraco waterers can help prevent dehydration and promote overall herd health. This is particularly important for dairy cows, as dehydration and lack of access to water can have a negative impact on milk production.
Hot weather
performance
Providing cooler water to dairy cattle through a Miraco waterer can help prevent heat stress and improve water intake and productivity in hot weather conditions. The insulating properties and design of Miraco waterers may help maintain a more consistent water temperature, which can be beneficial for dairy cattle health and performance in hot weather. It is proven that cattle consume more water at an optimal water temperature.
