Dairy cows, are very sensitive to the quality of their environment and are persistently under threat from issues such, as high somatic cell count (mastitis), poor reproductive cycles, disease, parasites and infection and poor water intake. These ongoing concerns are critical for farmers and can directly impact the efficiency and profitability of their farms.
Farmers know the best way to maintain the health and well being of their dairy herds, is to provide a clean living environment and access to adequate hydration from a clean water source. This, however, can be challenging due to the presence of biofilms in pipes or pathogens present directly in the water. This is where H2O2 Water and Hydroxyl can help.
NSF and EPA approved Hydroxyl is a fast acting, ecologically sustainable, stabilized peroxide product with a prolonged efficiency time. Biodegradable and non-toxic, Hydroxyl is highly effective in eliminating the presence of harmful biofilms that exist within the water distribution systems, as well as the pathogens present in the air and the water itself. Hydroxyl decomposes into simple water and oxygen with no lasting effects on water or soil quality and no harmful byproducts or coproducts left behind making it ideal for milk production applications.
Once introduced into a farm’s water system or environment, Hydroxyl immediately goes to work. It eliminates the build up of biofilms within the water pipe network, significantly reduces the pathogenic entities from air or source water including but not limited to Staph. aureus, E. coli, salmonellas achloropsias and listeria monocytopenia, and, it may also enhance the removal of organic material and endotoxins.
In addition to the immediate benefits of a cleaner environment and/or water system there is evidence to support a prolonged use of Hydroxyl also has several specific benefits for dairy cattle including:
Lowering Somatic Cell Counts – Elevated somatic cell counts in milk can indicate the presence of health issues, specifically mastitis, a painful udder infection that significantly impacts milk quality and production. Case Studies conducted over a 2 year period have demonstrated that dairy cattle consuming water treated with Hydroxyl consistently reported lower somatic cell counts in their milk. – Click Here to Read The Full Case Study
Improved Farm Operations – A water system treated with Hydroxyl has cleaner pipes and less build up reducing the need for infrastructure maintenance. Farmers using Hydroxyl report a reduction in the amount of CIP’s needed due to cleaner pipes. Dairy cows living in environments treated with Hydroxyl or consuming water treated with Hydroxyl are reported healthier. This translates into less time and resources needed for animal care and management which translates into lower operational costs.
Improved Revenue Opportunities – Farmers report Dairy Herds treated with Hydroxyl are demonstrated healthier and therefore more productive. Farmers using Hydroxyl have reported 2%-6% increase in milk yields and a 2%-12% increase in butter fat content over previously reported rates prior to their use of Hydroxyl.
