Project status: Completed
Livestock species: Grassfed cattle, Grainfed cattle

Summary

This project sought to document the water quality issues affecting water medication systems throughout northern Australia and to describe the physical, chemical and biochemical processes and reactions occurring.  It was also to identify processes and technical solutions (chemical, biochemical, mechanical) that would enable producers to prevent or treat the common water quality problems affecting water medication systems.  The project was terminated early due to unsatisfactory progress by the contracted project team.
