Abstract

The increase in global food demand has led to intensified production of pigs and poultry. In this context, water quality on farms needs to be monitored to ensure maximum production and animal welfare. This study aimed to evaluate the quality and variability of drinking water for animals over twelve months in properties in the Southern Region of Brazil. Physical, chemical, microbiological parameters, and the average rainfall index of nine water sources were observed. Variations in pH were noted among the evaluated water sources, as well as within the same source over monthly collections. A relationship between average rainfall and elevated iron levels was also demonstrated. Nitrate and nitrite levels exceeded Brazilian legislation at certain sampling points, posing risks to human and animal health. In 67.59% of samplings, total coliforms were present, and 59.26% showed the presence of Escherichia coli. The study highlighted the variability of water sources in the Southern Region of Brazil, reflecting the need for constant monitoring and treatment measures, such as water treatment stations, chlorination systems, and acidification in rural properties.
