On the 22nd of March every year, we celebrate the significance of water and this year's theme: 'Glacier Preservation.' The central focus of World Water Day is to support Sustainable Development Goal 6: ensuring water and sanitation for all by 2030.
Water is essential not only for human survival but also for the health and well-being of animals and the livestock industry. In this page, we presented a set of videos that will cover various aspect of maintaining water quality for the animals. Together, we can make a positive impact on the world, one drop at a time.
Reduced water consumption can signal health issues, making water availability and quality vital for animal well-being and productivity.
Monitoring water quality on farms is essential for promoting agriculture and protecting the environment. Prioritizing water quality ensures peak performance and optimal health for animals.
Chlorination uses hypochlorous acid to kill bacteria, maintaining a chlorine residual of 3-5 ppm for effective microbial control.
Acidification lowers pH to prevent harmful microorganisms, with organic acids enhancing microbial control, especially for young animals.
A compilation of 36 studies (16 with piglets, 20 with broilers) globally demonstrates the benefits of buffered organic acids in supporting animal health & efficient production:
Piglets: Increased average daily water intake with Selko water acidifier with improved growth performance. Broilers: Improved performance across various production systems, climates, and housing conditions.
