Application methods
LivestockIQ supplements are designed to be applied through water, feed or hay, providing flexible options to suit different production systems.
Water trough (recommended)
The LivestockIQ ProDispenser provides a simple and consistent method of delivering supplements through the water supply over a 3-day period.
How it works
- Calculate the required dose for your livestock.
- Add the product to a clean drum.
- Attach the ProDispenser.
- Place the drum into the trough.
- Allow the dispenser to release product gradually over three days.
This method helps ensure livestock receive a consistent intake while minimising labour and handling.
Water tank
Where livestock are supplied from a central tank system, products can be added directly to the tank.
Guidelines
- Use a clean tank with minimal sediment.
- Add the calculated dose to the tank.
- Maintain normal water flow during the application period.
- Avoid overflow where possible.
This method helps ensure livestock receive a consistent intake while minimising labour and handling.
Feed and hay
LivestockIQ supplements can also be applied to feed or hay where water application is not practical.
Guidelines
- Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Apply the required dose over the recommended application period.
- Ensure livestock have consistent access to treated feed.
Choosing the best application method
For most situations, water trough application using the ProDispenser provides the most consistent and labour-efficient delivery.
Where trough access is limited, water tanks, feed or hay can provide practical alternatives.
