Chlorine Dioxide: Application and Practice for ASF & PRRS Prevention in Livestock

16 - Apr - 2026

In 2026, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs made special arrangements for the prevention and control of animal diseases nationwide, focusing on major diseases such as African swine fever, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), and highly pathogenic avian influenza. It required farms across the country to strengthen biosecurity and implement disinfection and source elimination measures meticulously. Currently, it is the peak season for livestock restocking and transportation in spring, and the fluctuating temperatures make viruses more likely to survive and spread. Disinfection and disease prevention have become paramount for farms to safeguard their biosecurity. Traditional disinfectants often reveal various problems in actual use in livestock farming, such as high irritation to livestock, the tendency to leave harmful residues after disinfection, and the disinfection effect being affected by environmental pH and temperature, which simply cannot meet the high standards of disease prevention required for large-scale farming. Chlorine dioxide, known in the industry as the "fourth-generation disinfectant," has become a valuable tool for disease prevention and control in livestock farming due to its broad bactericidal spectrum, high efficacy, low irritation, and lack of residue. It plays a significant role in several key areas, including livestock and poultry drinking water purification, daily disinfection of livestock pens, and treatment of livestock manure . It has already served large-scale livestock groups such as Muyuan Foods Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Huanong Wenshi Livestock Co., Ltd., becoming the preferred choice for disinfection and disease prevention in large-scale farms.

Chlorine dioxide is a strong oxidizing disinfectant. Compared to commonly used traditional chlorine agents, its biggest advantage is that its disinfection effect is not affected by the pH value of the water. Regardless of whether the water is acidic or alkaline, it can quickly kill harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and spores, without producing carcinogenic byproducts like chloroform. In livestock farming, chlorine dioxide can not only thoroughly clean biofilms in drinking water pipes and kill viruses such as African swine fever and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) that may be present in the pen environment, but it can also decompose pungent and harmful gases such as ammonia nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide in the farming environment, fundamentally improving the farm environment and reducing the risk of disease transmission. More importantly, chlorine dioxide has almost no irritation to livestock and poultry. It can be directly disinfected even when livestock and poultry are in the pen, which is particularly suitable for the actual needs of disease prevention in large-scale farming. Among many chlorine dioxide disinfection products, Xiuba has been deeply involved in the chlorine dioxide industry for over 40 years, with solid technical accumulation, a complete product range, and extensive practical application experience in farms, making it the preferred choice for disease prevention and disinfection for many large-scale farms .

Drinking water disinfection: Removing biofilm and building the first line of defense for livestock and poultry health .

Drinking water safety is fundamental to livestock and poultry farming and a major route for disease transmission. Biofilms in drinking water pipes, in particular, are breeding grounds for harmful microorganisms. If not thoroughly cleaned, livestock and poultry drinking contaminated water are prone to intestinal diseases. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs' guidelines on livestock disease prevention clearly state that chlorine dioxide is the preferred choice for drinking water disinfection. When used according to standard proportions, it effectively kills pathogens in the water, ensuring the safety of livestock and poultry drinking water. Xiuba Chlorine Dioxide offers stable chlorine dioxide solutions and effervescent tablets specifically designed for livestock drinking water, catering to the specific needs of different livestock and poultry, including pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese. The physiological characteristics and water conditions vary among different animals and poultry. This product allows for flexible adjustments to the dilution ratio. For routine drinking water disinfection, dilution at a ratio of 1:10,000 to 1:20,000 and allowing it to stand for one hour achieves excellent sterilization results.

Xiuba's effervescent drinking water tablets utilize patented rapid-dissolving technology. When dissolved in water, they quickly disintegrate and activate, easily penetrating the biofilm in drinking pipes to thoroughly eliminate harmful microorganisms hidden within, preventing their continuous growth. Simultaneously, they decompose harmful substances like ammonia nitrogen and nitrite in the water , improving its taste and reducing the incidence of common diseases such as diarrhea and intestinal inflammation in livestock and poultry. For water line cleaning in large-scale farms, Xiuba has also developed a specialized solution. Continuous addition of low-concentration chlorine dioxide enables daily pipe disinfection without frequent pipe disassembly and cleaning, significantly saving labor and time costs and improving management efficiency. This solution has been successfully applied in large-scale pig farms such as Muyuan Foods Co., Ltd., Jilin Jingqishen Organic Agriculture Co., Ltd., and Luoyang Liuhe Livestock Farm. After actual use , the incidence of intestinal diseases in livestock and poultry has decreased by over 30%, and its effectiveness in disease prevention has been fully validated by the market.

Animal pen disinfection: non-irritating disinfection while livestock are present , achieving comprehensive disease prevention.

Disinfection of livestock pens is a core aspect of disease prevention and control in livestock farming, especially during critical periods of African swine fever and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) . Frequent and thorough disinfection of pens, including walls, floors, cages, and feed troughs, is essential to cut off virus transmission routes. Traditional disinfectants present a persistent challenge: excessively high concentrations can corrode equipment and irritate livestock respiratory systems, triggering stress ; conversely , low concentrations fail to achieve the desired disinfection effect. Xiuba's chlorine dioxide disinfectant powder and activation-free high-purity chlorine dioxide disinfectant solution effectively address this problem. These products boast high activation rates and rapid sterilization. After dilution, they can be used for disinfection through spraying, wiping with cloths, or soaking equipment. A concentration of 0.1%-0.2% is sufficient for disinfecting both the internal and external environments of pens and livestock equipment while animals are present , offering both safety and effectiveness .

Xiuba's activation-free high-purity chlorine dioxide disinfectant requires no on-site activation and can be used directly after opening the cap, greatly reducing human error. It can quickly kill various harmful microorganisms such as African swine fever virus, avian influenza virus, and E. coli in livestock pens. There is no residue after disinfection, and no pungent odor. Even if livestock and poultry are in the pens all the time, disinfection can be carried out with confidence without worrying about stress reactions. For the low-temperature environment of northern winter farms, Xiuba has also specially developed low-temperature chlorine dioxide disinfectant tablets. These tablets ensure rapid activation and effective disinfection even at low temperatures , solving the industry problem of reduced disinfection effectiveness in winter farms. In addition, Xiuba chlorine dioxide can also be used to disinfect roads, vehicles entering and exiting the farm, and footwells for personnel. It can be diluted at a ratio of 1:200, which is simple and convenient, creating a comprehensive disinfection and protection network for the farm. It is currently being used stably in farms such as the Sheling Street pig farm, Chongqing Dazheng Livestock Technology Co., Ltd., and Jianli Yikang Agricultural and Livestock Equipment , leaving no loopholes for viruses to infiltrate.

Wastewater and odor control: a dual approach of environmental protection and disinfection to improve the livestock ecosystem.

Improperly treated manure generated during livestock farming can pollute surrounding soil and water sources, becoming a significant source of disease transmission. Furthermore, excessive ammonia odor in farms can negatively impact livestock's appetite and immunity, leading to slower growth and increased susceptibility to illness. Xiuba Chlorine Dioxide has developed a specialized high-content disinfectant powder specifically for the characteristics of livestock manure. This powder effectively kills harmful microorganisms in the manure , reducing the risk of disease transmission during composting. Simultaneously, its strong oxidizing properties rapidly decompose ammonia nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide, harmful gases that produce unpleasant odors, fundamentally reducing the pungent smell in farms, improving the ecological environment, and allowing livestock to grow in a more comfortable environment.

For wastewater discharge from livestock farms, Xiuba chlorine dioxide can precisely control the dosage based on the wastewater quality and actual discharge volume. This effectively disinfects the wastewater, killing harmful microorganisms without causing secondary pollution, fully meeting the environmental discharge requirements of livestock farms. Actual application verification in livestock farms shows that treatment with Xiuba chlorine dioxide achieves a kill rate of over 99.9% for harmful microorganisms and reduces ammonia odor concentration in the farm by over 60%. This safeguards against disease and helps farms achieve green farming practices, aligning with current trends in the livestock industry.
