Drinking water is the most important nutrient for lactating dairy cattle. Milk is composed of 87 per cent water and the body of a mature cow consists of between 45 and 75 per cent water.

Lactating dairy cattle consume approximately four to five litres of water for every kilogram of dry matter intake, a total of between 80 and 120 litres of water daily.

Terra Services provide the full design, supply and installation of livestock water systems. We design a system in conjunction with each customer that will meet their specific requirements such as;

 

  • Peak demand for each paddock
  • Water source 
  • Water storage requirements
  • Pump specification
  • Pipe routing
  • Trough locations

We use MDPE piping which is sourced and produced in Ireland. This is the pipe of choice for the gas and water industries. This Pipe is much less susceptible to scuffs, breaks, kinks etc as compared to hydrodare pipe. We use pipe roll lengths of up to 3000 meters thus minimising both joints underground and disrubtion in fields.

A vibratory mole plough is used to install the piping giving a quick, clean installation with minimal disturbance. A depth of 24" is achieved on all piping installed. This ensures the pipe is beneath any future field cultivations.

 

Electro-fusion pipe welding is used to join all our pipes. this is a process where the fittings and pipe are melted together. Thus giving a guarenteed seal on every joint. With nothing to ware away or degrade over time.

We also have concrete drinking troughs available with full-flow trough valves. These come in 150, 300 and 500 gallon tanks. Depending on location and herd size.

We also supply farm water storage tanks from 2000 gallons upwards.

We can also utilise all sources on water on the farm, from sprins to rivers as well as Rainwater Collection on Farms.

We can adapt onto the farmers existing water system if required.

Our ploughs are also ideal for the installation of dirty water piping around the farm
