The quality of water is gaining more and more attention in the production processes within the agro sector. Water is important for plants and animals and plays a role in the proper functioning of various equipment. We carry out various types of water surveys on behalf of the agro sector.
Good drinking water is extremely important for the health of livestock. While animal feed is checked for all kinds of components, when it comes to drinking water, this is often overlooked. Since your cow, for example, will ingest 100 to 170 litres of water per day, even a slight contamination can have consequences for the milk production and cause health problems. That is why it is so important to check the drinking water. We take water samples and analyse these water samples for bacteriological contaminants and chemical parameters.
Large water systems are used in glasshouse horticulture to heat the greenhouses. The quality of the water in these systems is extremely important. If the quality is not good enough, this can lead to major damage to the system. Consider, for example, corrosion of pipes or mineral contamination of pipes. We periodically take water samples, give advice and supply the required supplements to bring the water quality up to the required standard and keep it there.
Would you prefer a subscription service for taking samples and analysing drinking water (source water and tap water)? This can be done. A subscription means that we plan the sample-taking logistically, so that the taking of water samples and transport can be carried out as efficiently as possible. Thanks to this independent analysis which is in accordance with the requirements of the Integral Chain Control (IKB) or other chain concepts (e.g. The Sustainable Pork Value Chain Foundation [Stichting Keten Duurzaam Varkensvlees / KDV] and the Better Life Label [Leven Keurmerk]), no pig, cattle or poultry farmer will ever miss out on the mandatory sample-taking.

The government has determined that solid cattle manure (manure code 13) and solid pig manure (manure code 43) or a mixture which also contains manure code 13 and/or manure code 43 must have samples taken by an independent sample-taking organisation. As a specialist in manure analyses, we are accredited for these samplings which are carried out in accordance with AP06, as specified in Appendix Ea of the Dutch Manure and Fertilisers Act.
