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公司开发了一种管道配件，该配件采用了一种新颖的、经济有效的电解电池，可以在牲畜饮用水中产生臭氧。这种低压设备在溶液中产生臭氧，臭氧是一种强大而快速的消毒剂，可以迅速杀死所有类型的病原体，并防止共用饮用水源的交叉污染感染。该项目旨在确定臭氧化饮用水对圈养小牛健康和福利的益处。该项目将确定和量化臭氧水在增长率、预防隐孢子虫病和沙门氏菌病等常见胃肠疾病以及对抗菌剂使用的影响方面的益处。

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.
