In pig farming, disinfection is much more than just a hygiene measure. It is a central part of the operational routine and makes a decisive contribution to the well-being of the animals and the profitability of the farms. Consistent disinfection reduces the use of antibiotics, strengthens animal health, and improves animal welfare—while also lowering production costs. It also plays a key role in biosecurity, disease prevention, and the avoidance of resistance. Environmentally friendly disinfection solutions make an important contribution to achieving these goals and developing sustainable animal husbandry.

Healthy pigs thanks to clean water

Water quality plays a central role in the success of pig farming. Biofilm can form in water pipes and harbor harmful germs that weaken the animals’ immune systems and lead to health problems and reduced performance.

Hydroliq WATER DISINFECTION Plus offers an advanced and safe solution:

• Effective against germs even at low concentrations
• Breaks down biofilm in pipes and prevents new biofilm from forming
• Ensures hygienically clean drinking water at all times
• Effectiveness can be measured directly on site
• Approved for drinking water, residue-free and environmentally friendly

Clear advantages in all phases of maintenance

In piglet rearing, clean drinking water reduces germ pressure, increases water intake in piglets, stabilizes the intestinal flora, and reduces diarrhea. This relieves the immune system, giving piglets more energy for growth and development. At the same time, feed conversion improves and the use of medication decreases. Increased water intake also reduces heat stress.

During the fattening phase, germ-free water supports stable health and calm animal behavior. The lower germ load strengthens the immune system, promotes even growth, and improves feed conversion. Tasty water not only promotes water intake, but also helps maintain performance under stress or at high temperatures.

During the mating and waiting phase, clean water promotes the health of sows, stabilizes fertility, and improves insemination results. The reduced germ load relieves the immune system, reduces infections, and lowers the use of medication.

During the farrowing phase, a hygienic water supply protects newborn piglets from germ transmission and supports the milk production of sows. A strong immune system ensures healthy piglets and stable litters. Even at high temperatures, milk production and uniform growth of the piglets are maintained.

“Our piglets had problems with diarrhea during the weaning period, which we attributed to the water quality. We urgently sought a solution that was effective, easy to use, and sustainable.

With Hydroliq, we found such a solution, where the change in water quality was directly measurable and immediately led to improved water intake by the piglets.

Diarrhea during the weaning phase is now a thing of the past, and it is a joy to watch the healthy piglets grow.”
