Larson Dairy's experience with Oxy Blast® demonstrates how modern water treatment solutions can revolutionize performance. The impact extended beyond profit, with improved heat stress management and long-term operational cost savings.
Larson Dairy, based in Creston, Nebraska, operates a 250-cow automated milking facility. Seeking improvements in milk production and overall herd health, the dairy partnered with Oxy Blast® for an on-farm trial that delivered industry-transforming results.
Larson Dairy faced ongoing challenges with rust and iron in their water supply, negatively impacting equipment longevity, herd hydration, and milk output. Despite digging two new wells, the water analysis revealed elevated levels of bicarbonates, manganese, and hardness, still leaving room for optimization.
With the guidance of their Oxy Blast® representative, Larson Dairy installed a hydrogen peroxide-based water treatment system:
A peristaltic pump system distributed Oxy Blast® directly into the waterline.
Trial dosage started at 25 parts per million (PPM), incrementally increasing to 100 PPM.
The solution focused on cleaner, oxygenated water that enhanced cow hydration and reduced contaminants.
The trial began in February 2020, with Larson Dairy tracking detailed metrics using their robotic milking facility. Comprehensive data from cow groups ensured an accurate comparison between trial and control groups. Maintenance efforts were minimal, with a single 55-gallon drum lasting two months.
7-pounds more milk per cow per day.
7.8 gallons more water consumed and 1.14 pounds more dry matter intake daily.
Annual gain of $75,000 for the dairy based on increased milk production.
Cows maintained a 92-pound milk average even during summer heat stress.
“The trial on my own farm with my own cows has made me a believer in Oxy Blast. I’ve seen firsthand its impact on milk production and overall herd health.”
