Calving pens
Prevention and control of disease in livestock husbandry can make a tremendous difference to overall performance of young stock.
The use of untreated water in open water troughs may lead to the introduction of pathogens coming from the water supplies and faecal contamination. The temperature and humidity of calving pens, particularly during summer will create a breeding ground for bacteria. Anthium Dioxcide water treatments can be effectively applied in these areas to remove this bacterial contamination.
E coli and salmonella infections can be effectively eliminated by fogging our Hysan or Aquabon sanitizers as part of the cleaning regime. The use of dangerous chemicals such as formaldehyde and gluteraldehyde can be effectively eliminated by use of these products.
Hysan personal care and surface wipe products extend this technology into a key area of biosecurity – and ensure that operators cannot act as disease vectors.
Bedding straw sanitation is achieved using either Hysan or Aquabon to reduce challenge as a result of reduced surface bacteria contamination (Subject to National Regulations).
Milk Producers
Our water treatment biocide, Anthium Dioxcide provides continuous, year round protection for breeding stock via a simple and easy to use automatic dosing system that may also be used to dose vitamins and vaccines where necessary.
BK Agri is an effective method for controlling ammonia levels in slurry or bedded areas, and can assist in improving overall welfare when applied regularly as a powder.
Calving pen sanitation is an important part of any good livestock husbandry bio-security program. Our Hysol Z powder sanitizer can be applied to provide excellent sanitation without causing distress to stock.
Hand Reared Calves
Mortality, feed conversion and overall welfare are dramatically improved by the addition of Anthium Dioxcide to calf drinking water, particularly at an early age. By taking a proactive approach to drinking water sanitation, many operators have reduced or eliminated costly antibiotic treatments, and improved compliance with supermarket and consumer requirements.
BK Agri assists in removing ammonia from the immediate environment of the calf, which can cause stress and affect overall growth performance.
Our general hygiene products – Hysan and Hysol are extensively used to improve biosecurity around the farm, and are of particular use during turnarounds and vehicle washing. The combined detergent/sanitizer action of Hysol DS is particularly effective in soiled areas and can assist in improving turnaround times.
