| Abstract | ||
| Water Samples were collected from some wells in Sobrahta and Sorman areas to be tested for its quality and fitness for drinking of cattle. Accuracy was taking in consideration concerning the sample volume, avoidance of contamination, leaving a space on the tope of the bottle to facilitate shaking before chemical testing, measuring of water temperature and keeping on ice during transportation to the laboratory. Specification indices of cattle drinking water mean value, expected value, and probable problems affecting the water quality as well as the important method to get rid of them were included in this study. The obtained results (the least value – the highest value) were as follow: TDS =78.80 – 1551 ppm SO4 = 14 – 368.47 ppm NO3 = 0.00 – 0.30 ppm Fe = 0.00 – 1.30 ppm Mg = 2.35 – 160.19 ppm pH = 6.5 – 8.00 Comparing this values in accordance with the known standards we can conclude that well’s water in Sorman and Sobrahta are Safe for cattle drinking without any harmful effect on the efficiency and health of cattle. | ||
