Improving the health, welfare and growth rates of calves on UK beef and dairy farms by mitigating infectious gastrointestinal diseases using electrolytically-generated ozone water treatment

Peroxigen开发了一种管道配件，该配件采用了一种新型的、具有成本效益的电解池，可在牲畜饮用水中产生臭氧。这一低压装置在溶液中产生臭氧，这是一种强效、快速的消毒剂，可迅速杀死所有类型的病原体，并防止共用饮用水源的感染交叉污染。预防常见的胃肠道疾病，如隐孢子虫病和沙门氏菌病，以及对抗菌药物使用的影响。

Peroxigen has developed a pipefitting that incorporates a novel, cost effective electrolytic cell that generates ozone in livestock drinking water. This low-voltage device generates ozone in solution, a powerful and fast-acting disinfectant that rapidly kills pathogens of all types and prevents cross-contamination of infections at shared drinking water sources.This project aims to determine the benefits of ozonated drinking water on the health and welfare of penned calves.The project will determine and quantify the benefits of ozone-water in terms of growth rates, the prevention of common gastrointestinal diseases, such as cryptosporidiosis and salmonellosis, and the impact upon antimicrobial usage.
