Agriculture – Oxichlor

Purified Water for Unbeatable Performance

The importance of water in agricultural biosecurity cannot be overstated, yet it is often overlooked.

Oxichlor work hard to ensure the highest welfare and biosecurity standards in agriculture using our Chlorine Dioxide-based technology while maximizing productivity.

Our multidisciplinary approach combines chemistry and microbiology with our deep understanding of stocksmanship and modern agricultural practices.

We apply our founding principles of using the best biosecurity practices to improve welfare, reduce mortality, and ultimately enhance stock performance, whether in horticulture, agriculture, or aquaculture. As a result, major agribusinesses, pedigree breeders, and farmers trust us as their partners.

Leading edge broiler, breeder and layer water sanitation programs, backed by over 50 years’ poultry experience.

Our business was founded in the early 1980s when Oxichlor applied Chlorine Dioxide to improve the welfare of broiler flocks in Europe and Africa. Despite our growth in other areas, we remain poultry people at heart.

We offer poultry water treatment and hygiene solutions to breeders and growers of flocks, including industry leaders such as Aviagen, Cobb, Hubbard, ISA, and Lohmann. Our poultry water sanitation solutions go beyond simple water disinfection and can integrate with complex nutritional and vaccination regimes to ensure maximum growth and performance while improving flock welfare.

Our poultry water treatment programs include state-of-the-art performance monitoring and on-site specialist support to protect your investment. Our technical teams work alongside your nutritional and veterinary specialists to achieve unbeatable flock performance and a truly integrated approach to poultry biosecurity.

Our Floradox solution combines the disinfection power of Chlorine Dioxide with the nutritional benefits of organic acids to deliver unparalleled improvements in feed conversion.

Improve feed conversion and reduce mortality by targeting the most overlooked aspect of the biosecurity chain – your water supply.

Having access to clean water is of utmost importance when it comes to profitable animal rearing and milk production. Poor quality water leads to the prevalence of disease in the herd, which in turn, negatively impacts milk and meat yields.

It is essential to note that bacterial infections can develop in water tanks, pipework, and drinking troughs, leading to poor water quality and associated animal husbandry problems.

To address this issue, Oxichloroffers a range of flexible water treatments designed specifically for animal rearing. From Cidox ClO₂ tablets, which are designed for one-off disinfection of tanks and troughs, to fully automatic dosing systems, which are capable of disinfecting poor-quality borehole water continuously to eliminate pathogens such as Pseudomonas, E.coli, and other Coliforms and Enterococci.

Our disinfection systems require low dose rates of chlorine dioxide, ensuring that they are entirely compatible with other veterinary treatments such as vaccines and vitamins that may be periodically dosed through the water system.

We have specific programs available for all types of intensively reared livestock, and our experience in the sector is second to none. To speak with one of our animal husbandry specialists, please contact us today.

Poor-quality water can decimate crop yields, whether hydroponic flowers or potatoes grown in an open field. Oxichlor systems provide the solution.

Plant viruses and moulds have the potential to devastate intensively grown hydroponic crops within a matter of hours. The hydroponic system can distribute the pathogen efficiently throughout the growing shed, making isolation or treatment almost impossible.

Likewise, using untreated river water to irrigate crops such as potatoes has the potential to introduce pathogens such as Pythium and Phytophthora, which can result in devastating outbreaks of rot.

Oxichlor offer low-cost and highly effective treatments using automatic chlorine dioxide dosing systems in both cases. By effectively dosing the water with low levels of this drinking water-approved biocide, biological loading of the water can be minimised, and the spread of disease can be reduced.

For immediate post-harvest treatment, Oxichlor products have the potential to significantly reduce spoilage and extend shelf life without the use of high levels of toxic biocides such as chlorine that can lead to tainting of products and associated regulatory issues.

Oxichlor has undertaken challenging horticultural projects to improve crop yields around the world in a variety of scenarios. Contact us today to discuss how we can help.

Oxichlor helps intensive aquaculture to carefully manage the risk of microbial infection that can devastate crop values.

Whether salmon farming in a Scottish sea loch or shrimp growing in South America or Asia, aquaculture operators worldwide must balance crop protection, food safety and environmental stewardship.

With regulators and major buyers now moving away from the practice of prophylactic veterinary antibiotic treatments for obvious human health reasons, operators are faced with the challenge of maintaining the biosecurity standards required for intensive production, with significantly more environmental scrutiny than ever before.

Oxichlor has worked with significant aquaculture operators worldwide to develop water treatment programs. Our holistic approach considers factors such as wastewater discharges from nearby processing plants, transport from hatcheries and rearing facilities, and disease response in growing cages and ponds.

Some of the most challenging fungal diseases in aquaculture are secondary infections caused by deeper underlying problems with water quality. Our biosecurity experts are well-placed to work with your vets and rearing staff to develop an approach tailored to your location’s unique needs.
