The importance of clean drinking water in animal production

1.The importance of drinking water 2.The biofilm 3.Chlorine Dioxide 4.The difference between ClO 2 and other water treatments 5.ClO 2 in practice

A farmer spents a lot of money on: genetics feed and medication environment management water???? 1.The importance of drinking water

Water = 2 even 3 times more consumption than food Transport of nutrients in the body Disposing toxic products Important to maintain the normal body temperature

Fysical aspects: tasteless, odorless, colourless en clean Chemical aspects: Hardness (Ca / Mg): < 150 mg/l Iron: < 1 mg/l pH: The importance of drinking water

Bacterial contamination of the lines The water itself can be contaminated (the source) External contamination of the pipes Contamination by drugs, additives. 1.The importance of drinking water

2.The biofilm 3.Chlorine Dioxide 4.The difference between ClO 2 and other water treatments 5.ClO 2 in practice

A collection of microorganisms that secrete sticky slime allowing them to form colonies on inert or living surfaces. Biofilms are an ideal media for harboring microbes that contaminate water supplies and as such need eliminating 2. The biofilm

Contamination from outside: Depending on type of drinking system: contact with air  contamination by dust, yeast, bacteria,…. OPEN HALF-OPEN 2. The biofilm

Contamination from the “inside” by drugs, vaccination, vitamins… Forming biofilm = extracellular polysaccharide layer in the tubes deposit BIOFILM Input: Water, Drugs, Vaccines, Vitamins, acids,… 2. The biofilm

Where to find the biofilm

Feeding place for micro organism Contains calcium, which is a super hiding place for micro- organisms NEED: Remove the biofilm 2. The biofilm

AdvantagesResults 3. Chlorine Dioxide How does it works?

ClO 2 is a dissolved gas: Works by oxydation of 5 (!) electrons Can penetrate very deep into the biofilm It attacks the membrane of the cell: cell respiration It disrupts the RNA in the cell: also cells in rest phase 3. Chlorine Dioxide How does it works?

3. Chlorine Dioxide

Advantages of ClO 2 (1) High potential, because of the 5 electrons Minimal contact time Low concentrations, less chemicals needed This product doesn’t load the environment Not corrosive for the system 3. Chlorine Dioxide

Advantages of ClO 2 (2) No toxic by-products after the reaction (closed circuit): does not generate Trihalomethanes and carcinogenic products. No resistance Works in a pH range from 4 to 10 It doesn’t change the odour or taste of water 3. Chlorine Dioxide

Fast acting bactericide, virucide, yeast, mould, bacterial protozoa e.g. Legionella, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Giardia, Cryptosporida, ….. Best product for removing biofilm and disinfecting the water Many uses Advantages of ClO 2 3. Chlorine Dioxide

ALDiox Super cleaning and desinfection power Less illness, caused by contaminated water Less cost of drugs Less dead animals Better production results Cleaner pipes; better water consumption Better water consumption, better feed consumption 5. ClO 2 in practice

99,9% pure CLO2 5. ClO 2 in practice

Option A Cleaning with NO animals Descaling with acid product Disincrustation with alkaline product Very high dosage of ALDIox in pipes ALDIox at maintenance dosages

Option B Cleaning with animals Higher dosage of DioxVet than maintenance Flushing pipes, every 2-3 days, even daily Dioxvet at maintenance dosages

Advantages of this formulation of ClO 2 Easy to transport and store No risk of explosion Not corrosive for the system Usable for smaller amounts Less expensive 5. ClO 2 in practice
