In the world of agriculture and horticulture, the impact of water quality on output cannot be overstated. Poor quality water has the potential to wreak havoc, leading to increased morbidity and mortality in animals, low food conversion rates, and a surge in veterinary and antibiotic interventions. Similarly, in horticulture, the presence of viruses or moulds…
Chlorine Dioxide has emerged as a highly efficient microbiological biocide, cherished for its potent efficacy, superior biofilm penetration, low disinfection byproduct generation, and overall environmental responsibility. While widely adopted in smaller water systems, the application of Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) in high-volume seawater handling systems faced hurdles due to operational costs. Recent advancements, inspired by pulp…
Biofilm, an often overlooked concern, can cause problems in various areas of hatchery operations, affecting both the well-being of livestock and the efficiency of processes. In this article, we will look into the locations where biofilm tends to accumulate within hatcheries and explore effective strategies for its prevention. Drinking water, essential for the well-being of…
Clean water in pig farming plays a pivotal role in maximising the genetic potential of every pig litter. Its significance cannot be overstated, as poor water quality directly impacts water consumption, food conversion rates, and overall herd health. Poor water quality, often underestimated, is a hidden problem that undermines the efficiency of pork production. It…
