Dairy cattle require an abundance of freshwater to keep them healthy and productive. At Castle Water, we know about the difficulties of raising cattle for dairy from a water-usage standpoint, including the huge demand for water by cattle before they are of dairy production age.
We work with dairy farmers up and down the nation to ensure the dairy cattle raising industry moves forward with water sustainability at the core of its principles.
Effective water usage management can save money and keep your farm compliant with local and regional legislation that impacts your business.
Castle Water has a pedigree in sector tailored water management solutions.
The UK’s dairy cattle raising industry is the thirteenth-largest in the world and in 2020 produced 15.3 billion litres of milk for consumption, worth £4.4 billion in market prices, according to the UK government. When we consider that, on average, a lactating dairy cow will use 100 litres of water per day, we realise just how much water dairy farming uses.
It goes even further than that, with 255 litres of water needed for one 250ml glass of milk.
With so much water usage, we must save water to be as effective as we can in how we use it. This is what Castle Water is all about.
Keeping and maintaining a sustainable dairy farm is very challenging. All agriculture relies on freshwater to function, be it to hydrate the cattle, or grow the crops to feed them.
Sustainability within the dairy cattle raising industry falls down to optimising how water is used and minimising the wastewater that dairy farms produce.
It has been shown that the over-consumption of water could degrade the quality of surface and groundwater resources. This, in turn, can create issues continually sourcing freshwater for our already growing needs on a local level.
