For farmers who rely on inline dosing, MixRite dosing pumps are proving to be a game-changer. Our dosing pumps deliver precise, reliable, and hassle-free dosing of medications, vaccines, disinfectants, vitamins, and minerals into livestock drinking water.
A reliable dosing solution for organic dairy farming
Jesiah from Alexander Organics Ltd, a 60-hectare organic dairy farm with 200 cows in Cambridge, Waikato, shares his experience with the MixRite 3510 and how it has transformed his farm operations.
Jesiah needed a dosing pump that would provide flexible, accurate dosing throughout the year. He had previously faced difficulties sourcing parts and finding support for his old dosing system. Looking for a more efficient alternative, he got in touch with us.
We installed the MixRite 3510 as we wanted the ability to adjust the dosing up to 10% during winter when dry cows aren’t drinking much and then dial it back to 1-2% in summer when cows drink a lot. The ability to have a wide range of dosing is really handy.
The machine has been installed for 12 months now and no trouble at all. Very pleased with our purchase. Will do a DIY service shortly, is another advantage over the previously owned dosing machine.
This level of adaptability ensures that farmers like Jesiah can deliver nutrients, supplements, or treatments efficiently and according to seasonal variations. Built using cutting-edge materials and technology, MixRite pumps are designed for longevity and require minimum maintenance.

Frequently asked questions about dosing pumps on organic dairy farms
Why are dosing pumps used on organic dairy farms?
On organic dairy farms, dosing pumps are used to support consistent water treatment and system management while reducing the need for manual handling. This helps farmers apply treatments in a controlled and repeatable way that aligns with organic farming practices and day-to-day farm operations.
How do dosing pumps integrate into existing dairy farm water systems?
Dosing pumps are typically installed inline with existing farm water systems, allowing treatments to be applied proportionally as water flows through the system. This means dosing can be introduced without major changes to existing infrastructure.
Are dosing pumps suitable for rural dairy farms with limited power supply?
Yes. As demonstrated in this case study, water-driven hydraulic dosing pumps can be used on dairy farms where electrical power is limited or unavailable. Electrically powered dosing pumps may also be used where a reliable power supply is available and where additional control or monitoring is required.
For a more detailed explanation, see our guide to hydraulic vs electric dosing pumps.
What factors influence dosing pump selection on dairy farms?
Dosing pump selection depends on factors such as water pressure and flow, farm layout, dosing requirements, water quality, and how water is distributed across the dairy operation. Daily farm routines and management practices may also influence system choice.
How does dosing support consistency across a dairy farm?
By dosing proportionally as water flows through the system, dosing pumps help ensure treatments are applied consistently across multiple water points. This reduces variation and supports reliable day-to-day farm operations.
Is dosing suitable for different dairy herd sizes?
Yes. As shown in this case study, dosing systems can be applied across a range of dairy herd sizes. Suitability depends on water supply characteristics and system design rather than herd size alone.
