In recent years, the application of electrolyzed water (EW) in livestock and poultry production as a safe and efficient disinfected drinking water has attracted much attention. Electrolyzed water can not only effectively kill pathogenic microorganisms, but also significantly improve the growth performance of livestock and poultry, providing new ideas for green breeding.
The advantages of electrolyzed water in livestock and poultry production are highlighted
Electrolyzed water is an aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) generated by electrolyzing sodium chloride or dilute hydrochloric acid solution. It has the characteristics of broad-spectrum bactericidal, no residue, and environmental protection. In livestock and poultry farming, electrolyzed water can be used directly as drinking water or for environmental disinfection, replacing traditional chemical disinfectants, reducing the use of antibiotics, and thus reducing the risk of drug resistance.
Studies have shown that electrolyzed water can effectively control intestinal pathogens in livestock and poultry (such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella), improve feed conversion rate, and reduce the incidence of diseases such as diarrhea. In addition, electrolyzed water can improve water quality, avoid the formation of biofilm in drinking water systems, and ensure the safety of drinking water for livestock and poultry.
Research progress of electrolyzed water as drinking water for livestock and poultry
The application of electrolyzed water in drinking water for livestock and poultry mainly focuses on the following aspects:
· Improve the sanitary quality of drinking water : The drinking water system in large-scale chicken farms is often contaminated with bacteria due to closed pipes and difficulty in cleaning. Studies have shown that adding slightly acidic electrolyzed water can significantly reduce the total bacterial count in drinking water, thereby improving the water quality and hygiene level.
· Promote the health of livestock and poultry : Slightly acidic electrolyzed water can not only improve water quality, but also enhance the immunity of livestock and poultry. For example, in broiler farming, adding slightly acidic electrolyzed water at a concentration of 0.3 mg/L can significantly improve the growth performance and disease resistance of chickens.
· Replacement of traditional disinfectants : Slightly acidic electrolyzed water can replace traditional disinfectants such as sodium hypochlorite and be used for disinfection of drinking water pipelines, avoiding the problem of chemical residues.
Application of electrolyzed water in livestock and poultry breeding environments
In addition to being used as drinking water, electrolyzed water can also be used for disinfection of livestock and poultry breeding environments. For example:
· Air disinfection in the house : Using electrolyzed water by spraying or atomizing can effectively control pathogenic microorganisms in the air in the house and reduce the occurrence of respiratory diseases.
· Equipment disinfection : Electrolyzed water can be used to clean equipment such as feed barrels and cow udders, and its bactericidal effect is better than traditional disinfectants.
Chlory hypochlorous acid generator: accurate and efficient technical support
The hypochlorous acid generator developed by Chlory uses advanced electrolysis technology to prepare high-purity and stable hypochlorous acid solution on site. The equipment has the following advantages:
Precise concentration control : Adjust the effective chlorine concentration (such as 2-10 ppm , 20-2000ppm ) according to demand, taking into account both bactericidal effect and safety;
Immediate use upon production : avoid the problem of effective chlorine attenuation in the storage of traditional disinfectants;
Low-cost and environmentally friendly : only water, salt and electricity are required, with no harmful by-products.
By combining with electrolyzed water technology, Chlory equipment provides a sustainable drinking water solution for farms. Test data shows that in farms using this system, the mortality rate of livestock and poultry is reduced by 15% and the use of antibiotics is reduced by 30%.
Application prospects and challenges
Although electrolysis water technology has broad prospects, its promotion still faces challenges, such as high initial investment in equipment and insufficient technical knowledge among farmers. Future research will focus on optimizing electrolysis parameters, extending the action time and economic evaluation.
Expert opinion :
Professor Li from China Agricultural University pointed out: "The model of electrolyzed water combined with hypochlorous acid generator is an important practice for the antibiotic reduction action in the aquaculture industry. The next step is to strengthen the cooperation between industry, academia and research, formulate industry standards and promote the popularization of technology."
With the deepening of the concept of green farming, the application of electrolyzed water technology and Chlory hypochlorous acid generator will provide new impetus for healthy livestock and poultry farming and promote the sustainable development of the industry.
Chlory is a high-tech enterprise focusing on the research and development and application of hypochlorous acid technology , and is committed to providing safe and efficient disinfection solutions for medical, home and public environments.
