The 'good helper' for pig farm disinfection - chlorine dioxide effervescent disinfection tablets

Hello everyone! I want to talk to everyone today about the disinfection of our pig farm. I believe many bosses have encountered such situations: pigs suddenly get sick, spread quickly, and it is particularly difficult to treat, seriously affecting the slaughter rate and economic benefits.

Actually, many diseases are caused by inadequate environmental disinfection, and pathogens have settled in pig pens, leading to continuous infections in the pig herd.

 

So, what bacteria are causing the infection?

 

1. The two most troublesome bacterial diseases in pig farms

Porcine contagious pleuropneumonia: This disease spreads very quickly, causing pigs to have difficulty breathing and coughing. In severe cases, they can die within a few days, with high treatment costs and mortality rates.

Porcine Haemophilus influenzae disease, also known as "Glazer's disease", can cause joint swelling and meningitis in pigs, making piglets particularly susceptible and with a high mortality rate.

These two diseases are now common around the world and often co infect with other viruses, making treatment more difficult.

 

2. The troubles of traditional disinfection methods

 

The troubles of traditional disinfection methods

Many bosses have tried various disinfection methods to prevent these diseases:

Using caustic soda (sodium hydroxide): Strong irritant, harmful to both humans and pigs, and prone to equipment corrosion

Using alcohol: The effect is average, the cost is high, and it is also flammable

Using ordinary disinfectants: The effect is unstable, and some pathogens have developed resistance

These methods are either ineffective, cumbersome to use, or harmful to pigs and humans, which is really a headache.

  

3. A New Choice for Disinfection - Chlorine Dioxide Effervescent Disinfectant Tablets

In recent years, there has been a particularly popular disinfectant that has been widely used in various animal husbandry disinfection. Many pig farms have already started using it, and it is chlorine dioxide effervescent disinfectant tablets. Why is it said to be good? I will summarize a few advantages for everyone:

1. The sterilization effect is particularly good

The pathogenic bacteria of porcine contagious pleuropneumonia can be killed in 5 minutes with a chlorine dioxide liquid concentration of 0.938mg/L

The pathogenic bacteria of Haemophilus parasuis can be killed by a chlorine dioxide liquid concentration of 3.75mg/L for 5 minutes

Within the temperature range of 10 ℃ to 30 ℃ and pH value of 4 to 8, the sterilization effect is very good. In other words, it can be used in both winter and summer, and the acidity and alkalinity will not have a significant impact on the effect.

2. Easy to use

Chlorine dioxide tablets can be directly thrown into water without the need for complex preparation

The concentration is easy to control, just use it according to the instructions

Can disinfect the pigsty environment, equipment, personnel hands, and drinking water of pigs, with a wide range of applications

3. High security

• Very low toxicity to pigs and humans, close to non-toxic

Chlorine dioxide is not as irritating as caustic soda, with low irritation

Low residue, will not affect the healthy growth of pigs

4. Reasonable cost

Compared to some cheaper disinfectants, it is slightly more expensive, but has good effects, requires less dosage, and is considered the most cost-effective option

Reducing pig diseases and improving survival rates can bring economic benefits that outweigh disinfection costs

 

4、 How to use chlorine dioxide effervescent tablets correctly?

Although this thing is good, it's useless if it's not used well. Here are a few practical suggestions for everyone:

 

How to use chlorine dioxide effervescent tablets correctly?

The concentration should be sufficient: according to the instructions, mix according to the ratio, don't try to save time and put less

Time is sufficient: Don't worry when disinfecting, let the medicine take effect for enough time to fully dissolve the tablets into the water.

Comprehensive coverage: Every corner of the pigsty should be sprayed, and special attention should be paid to areas such as corners and crevices that are prone to dirt and grime accumulation

Regular disinfection: It is recommended to disinfect at least 1-2 times a week. Before new pigs are introduced, they must be thoroughly disinfected to ensure a clean environment and increase the survival rate of piglets.

Personnel protection: It is recommended to wear gloves and masks when dispensing to avoid the irritating odor of chlorine dioxide and direct contact with high concentration chlorine dioxide solution

 

5、 Real case sharing

I know a boss named Wang who used to have frequent illnesses in the pig farm, especially pleuropneumonia, which resulted in the death of many pigs. Later on, chlorine dioxide effervescent tablets were used for disinfection. He did this by disinfecting the pigsty twice a week, thoroughly disinfecting new pigs before entry, and strictly disinfecting personnel entering and leaving.

In the past six months, the health status of the pig herd has significantly improved, the mortality rate has greatly decreased, the slaughter rate has increased significantly, and the economic benefits have significantly improved.

 

6、 A few suggestions for bosses

1. Treat disinfection as a daily routine: Don't wait until pigs get sick to think about disinfection

2. Choose the appropriate disinfectant: Chlorine dioxide effervescent tablets are a good choice

3. Establish a disinfection system: set a fixed disinfection time and process

4. Train employees: enable workers to also master the correct disinfection methods

5. Regular evaluation: Check the disinfection effect and adjust it in a timely manner

Dear bosses, raising pigs is a meticulous task, and disinfection is a crucial part of it. By using good products such as chlorine dioxide effervescent tablets, we can reduce the incidence of diseases and increase the length of meat in our pigs, resulting in increased economic benefits. I hope today's sharing can be helpful to everyone!

 

Wishing everyone a prosperous pig farm and a healthy pig herd!
