Livestock Dairy Trials – Ionized Water

Animals are not subject to the ‘placebo effect’, and can give a clear indication of the benefits of Ionized water.

These were large scale dairy trails conducted across a wide range of farms where the animals were given ionized and tap water to see of there would be any noticeable difference to animal health from drinking ionized water.
