Collection Guidelines for Livestock Water Testing
Specific Guidelines for Bacteria Analysis (B1, B2, LW, MP)
For tests requiring bacteria analysis, including tests B1, B2, LW, and MP, it is essential to collect samples in sealed, sterilized containers provided by the lab. These containers are crucial for preserving the integrity of the bacteria samples and ensuring accurate results. They can be obtained through local municipal, agricultural, or water conservation district offices, along with the necessary forms for submission.
General Sample Collection for Water Quality Assessment
For all other water testing samples, including those not specifically for bacteria analysis, high-density plastic bottles provided by the lab should be used. These bottles are designed to maintain the quality of the water samples, facilitating precise analysis. You can access these containers through local municipal or water conservation district offices, complete with the relevant forms.
Note on MP and MW Testing Requirements
The MP and MW samples are specific requirements set forth by Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship, particularly pertinent for livestock owners. These tests are vital for monitoring source water quality and ensuring the safety and suitability of water for agricultural use. Adhering to these guidelines is essential for compliance and the well-being of livestock.
Payment Options
