Australia's Leading Experts in Livestock Technology and Water Supplementation
1300 123 348Who We Are
DIT Ag Tech is a Toowoomba based livestock technology company that specialises in water supplementation (formerly known as water medication) for the livestock industry of Australia.
Water Supplementation is simply the terminology used to describe the method of proportionally dosing liquid supplements into livestock drinking water.
DIT Ag Tech is a company born out of an unrelenting passion and drive to convert the enormous opportunity and potential that water supplementation brings to the Australian livestock industry to save producers time, money and to improve the efficiency of on-farm practice.

Our Products
Dosers
No matter the application, DIT Ag Tech’s dispensing units have been designed to maximise the effectiveness of proportionally dosing animal health additives and supplements into livestock drinking water.
Supplements
The health and activity of rumen microflora is at the absolute core of all our products which have been specifically formulated to supply ruminant animals with the most cost-effective source of Nitrogen, Sulphur and Phosphorus.
Remote Monitoring
Our uSEE Remote Monitoring products are ideal for remotely monitoring livestock watering points from your mobile device or computer, and increasing your productivity while giving you peace of mind.

Benefits of Water Supplementation
Superior spread and accuracy of dose amongst the herd (all livestock drink evenly proportionate to body weight)
Cost saving. Water medication is generally the cheapest way of supplementing the daily recommended dose of urea
DIT Ag Tech works with our clients to develop fully customised solutions including:
Dispensers that adjust and work in with your current operation
Products that can be custom formulated to account for bore water alkalinity and specific pasture deficiency
Why feed Urea?
The nutritional value of all grasses in northern Australia declines following the growing season. As grasses mature and seed, their feed value declines. The nutrients in the grass also become less accessible to cattle and sheep as grasses become harder to digest as they mature. As a result of this decline in pasture quality and digestibility, cattle lose weight at an increasing rate as the dry season progresses. In a grazing sense, little can be done to improve the digestibility of mature grass however, urea is proven to be an extremely cost-effective method to increase the rate at which digestion occurs.
The rate at which digestion occurs in ruminant animals is governed by the number and type of microflora present in the rumen and a large healthy population of microflora results in faster digestion of feed and an added source of microbial protein for the animal. Large increases in numbers of microflora desirable out of the rumen they are digested providing a valuable source of protein for the animal. Effective urea supplementation can result in an increase in appetite of dry feed of up to 50% resulting in faster digestion of dry grass and faster throughput (rate of passage), of feed. This means cattle will eat more dry grass. As the rumen microflora pass.
Why feed Phosphorous?
With approximately 70% of soils in northern Australia phosphorus-deficient, many cattle grazing pastures need an additional source of phosphorus, particularly during the wet season when energy and protein levels are at their peak. Phosphorus is involved in almost every metabolic reaction in ruminants, including:
Formation of bones and teeth, and a structural component of skeletal tissues, absorption of carbohydrates such as glucose through intestinal tissues, transport of fatty acids throughout the body, metabolism of energy, reduced milk production, bone fragility leading to bone breakages and most notably, phosphorus deficiency during late lactation, early pregnancy, calving and growing stock can result in a severe loss of productivity gains.
Rumen microflora require phosphorus to digest pasture and a deficiency in the diet suppresses appetite, resulting in rapid reduction in feed intake. As well as this, phosphorus deficiency results in:
- Facilitation of fat, carbohydrate and protein utilization
- Improving the efficiency of feed utilization, energy transfer reactions, normal milk secretion and buffering of body fluids
