CHLORINE DIOXIDE FOR DAIRY FARM WATER TREATMENT – APPLICATION OF CDD 5000
In the dairy industry there is a direct correlation between the amount of water consumed by cows and the resulting amount of milk they produce on a daily basis. There are no common standards for disinfecting the water that a cow consumes. Ensuring safe water treatment for dairy cows is essential to maintain health and productivity. Ensuring chlorine dioxide for dairy farm water treatment is essential to maintain health and productivity. Using chlorine dioxide for dairy farms can significantly improve milk yield and cattle health.
CURRENT SCENARIO - CHALLENGES IN DAIRY FARM WATER PURIFICATION
In the current scenario, many times the herds are taken for grazing and an open river channel or tributary would be the source of water. For the remaining time, a small vessel/trough is erected which is routinely filled with the borewell water. And effectively there is no dairy farm water treatment given to water. This leads to exorbitant growth of biofilm in dairy farms, which results in bacterial contamination. The presence of algae prevents the cattle from drinking as much water as normally they would consume if the water is not fouled. Secondly, the fouled water is heaven for bacterial growth & pathogens which are the cause of Infection and diseases in many cases.
IMPACT OF CHLORINE ON WATER DISINFECTION FOR DAIRY FARMS
In some dairy livestock management systems, chlorine tablets are used to disinfect water. However, this has adverse effects on the amount of water consumed. However, chlorine creates a souring of the taste of the water thereby reducing the intake of water by the cows and negatively impacting milk production. Secondly, chlorine will only partially disinfect the water due to its pH dependency and its high reactivity with organics in the water, resulting in disinfection byproducts (DBP). Chlorine disinfection by-products are carcinogenic. Lastly, chlorine will not eliminate the biofilm that grows against the inner surfaces of the water distribution pipes and troughs, which allows the algae to continue to thrive.
Elevated bacterial counts and Iron and Manganese scale complexes with biofilm can cause reduced water intake leading to reduced milk yield. Somatic Cell Count in milk can be influenced by the level of immune system activation in the lactating cow and by water being a source of environmental mastitis organisms in the animal .
Chlorine dioxide for dairy farming is a far superior alternative, ensuring effective water purification in the dairy industry without harmful side effects.

WHY CHOOSE CHLORINE DIOXIDE FOR DAIRY FARM WATER DISINFECTION?
Chlorine Dioxide is recognized as the best available molecule for biofilm removal in dairy farms. Continuous use of chlorine dioxide provides a residual treatment that in turn, prevents the after-growth of biofilm once it is eradicated. Unlike conventional chlorine-based disinfectants, chlorine dioxide for dairy farming penetrates and eradicates biofilm, ensuring persistent microbiological control of drinking water. Chlorine does not eliminate, or even inhibit, the growth of slime. Chlorine dioxide removes slime within a short period. The hard layer requires a longer time to remove, depending on the thickness of the accumulation. The process of decontamination is completely safe and has no adverse side effects.
Chlorine dioxide is a superior water treatment to chlorine. Chlorine Dioxide addresses specific disinfection tasks that chlorine cannot accomplish, such as slime removal. It also has a far longer effective life. In addition to purifying drinking water, chlorine dioxide will eliminate slime in water pipes, tanks, and throughout the entire water distribution system. Chlorine does not address this important issue.
Chlorine Dioxide is harmless, whereas chlorine is dangerous to use, has harmful side effects on human, animal, plant, and marine health, and creates harmful By-products that are corrosive and harmful to humans.
Safe water treatment for dairy cows significantly improves cattle health and milk yield.
CDD 5000 – A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE DAIRY FARM WATER TREATMENT SOLUTION
CDD 5000â„¢ provides a solution to both of the issues not addressed by current practices and products. Chlorine dioxide is completely odorless and tasteless at applied concentration levels and does not adversely affect the taste of the water. Likewise, because it is the most effective agent for removing biofilm, it will prevent the growth of algae in the water troughs altogether. The combination of these two effects will allow the cow to consume more water and thus produce more milk.
CDD 5000â„¢ comes in a two-component powder mixture that, when added to a set volume of water, produces a 0.5% (5,000 ppm) solution of chlorine dioxide. The powder components of CDD 5000â„¢ are easy to transport and stock and safe to use. Dosing is done by conventional, plug-and-play chemical metering equipment or also using manual pouring. As a made-up concentrate, CDD 5000â„¢ delivers a far more effective disinfection power than any other traditional disinfectant and more rapid disinfection can be made through its self-dispersal action.
THE BIOFILM CHALLENGE IN DAIRY FARMS – HOW CDD 5000 HELPS?
Biofilm is composed of mineral deposits on the inner pipe surface of drinker lines creating an environment in which bacteria (E-coli, etc.)and other microorganisms can thrive. Since 95% of all microorganisms are hiding in the biofilm, removal of the biofilm is imperative for persistent microbiological control of the drinking water. Slime grows very quickly in water systems. Plank tonic cells flowing in the water clot together and form a layer of sessile cells, which attach to the inner walls of tubes and pipes. Colonies of cells grow rapidly and attract more planktonic cells. The slime can grow and block free water flow, and forms contamination which is a hazard to water quality. In existing water distribution systems, the distribution pipes are permanently contaminated with slime.

APPLICATION AREAS FOR CDD 5000 IN DAIRY FARMS
CALVING PENS – PREVENTING PATHOGEN GROWTH
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. Dairy farm water treatment with Chlorine can be effectively applied in these areas to remove this bacterial contamination. (E coli and salmonella infections can be effectively eliminated by fogging.)
MILK PRODUCERS – YEAR-ROUND WATER DISINFECTION
Our dairy livestock water purification solution, Chlorine Dioxide (CDD 5000) 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.
HAND REARED CALVES – IMPROVING HEALTH & FEED CONVERSION
Mortality, feed conversion, and overall welfare are dramatically improved by adding chlorine dioxide to dairy farm water treatment, particularly at an early age. By taking a proactive approach to the Disinfection of drinking water, many operators have reduced or eliminated costly antibiotic treatments, and improved compliance with supermarket and consumer requirements.
MILKING COWS – IMPACT OF CLEAN WATER ON MILK PRODUCTION
Regular water disinfection for dairy farms eliminates bacterial contamination improving milk yield and preventing disease spread. A unique feature of Chlorine Dioxide is its ability to be used as an antiviral/antibacterial fogging agent whist the stock are in–situ. Chlorine Dioxide contains a complex antibacterial agent that is non–harmful to the herd, at the operational dose levels. Regular fogging applications of Chlorine Dioxide are the ideal answer to disease outbreaks in a number of circumstances.
MASTIST CONTROL IN COWS – ENSURING BETTER CATTLE HEALTH
CDD 5000 is a trusted solution for mastitis control in cows, reducing infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae pathogens. The infection rates significantly reduced for the teats dipped with CDD 5000.
