Dairy Industry Benefits
Total Hygiene Leads to Increased Productivity and Cost Savings
Water
Just like humans, Dairy Cattle consume water. Unlike humans, Dairy Cattle drink an average of 30 to 40 gallons of water per day. Water is a critical component, and it is considered to be the most important nutrient. Like humans, Dairy Cattle require good health and wellness. Generally the common perception about water is that “Water is Water”. However, while water that is consumed by humans is generally treated with a process in which certain elements of water are removed to ensure its safety, cleanliness or palatability, water provided to dairy cattle is seldom treated. The importance of water quality is a vital concern in the production and health of dairy cattle.
Disinfection and Sanitation
Diseases and infections have always been a major concern to the dairy industry. Fortunately, microbial contamination can be prevented and controlled using proper management practices and modern health products. Kirkmayer’s technology offers a comprehensive eco-friendly and cost effective program that starts with the water treatment and continues through to the barns.
Providing a clean and germ free environment is a prerequisite for good animal health and high productivity. Studies indicate that germs costs energy to the farm animal, energy that should be used for animal growth and the production of higher quality animal products. Fewer micro-organisms reduce the stress on the animal’s immune system and the risk of diseases.
Farms must take a “Proactive Prevention of Pathogens Plan Approach” to protect its assets as without a plan in place, dairy farms will become toxic with germs and bacteria which will lead to major problems and costs associated through disease containment and elimination, reduced productivity and animal loss.
Benefits of HOCl
Improved feed conversion
Improved disease control through prevention of diseases such as mastitis, diarrhea, hoof and skin infections, ruminal acidosis etc.;
Reduced medical cost
Increases the animals’ absorption of nutrients and hydration status
Increases milk production
Increases Milk Production and Growth
Having fewer harmful microorganisms’ means that the load to the Dairy Cattle’s immune system is reduced and risk of disrupted stomach flora is also reduced. The result is that Dairy Cattle absorb more nutrients and energy for milk production and growth.
Expect Measurable Cost Savings
Increase milk output by 18-28%
Reduces medical costs by 15% – 30%
Costs savings associated through eliminating the use of chemicals with an on-site-on-demand disinfecting generator
