Ozone - New weapon to combat farm infections!

Marlow-based Ozone-Direct.Com with

O3Technology AB of Sweden supplies

decontamination wash-down systems employing ozone gas to kill pathogens and combat infections

in animals and poultry.

Ozone has been used for disinfecting drinking water for over 100 years! Now at high

concentration ozone finds a front-line role in battling infections in of our livestock and poultry

farms.

The AC-Sprint© system delivers ozone dissolved in water in the form of a pressure spray to

wash-down and disinfect animal enclosures, handling pens, packing crates feeding systems

and for decontamination of vehicles at the farm gate. The same system can deliver ozone in

gaseous form to fumigate sealed enclosures vessels or containers.

The AC-Sprint© is a compact wheeled system, powered by 230v electrical supply with a quick

connector to the farm water supply.

Ozone is 50-times more powerful than chlorine and when dissolved in water is a highly-potent

disinfecting medium, without the need for heat or chemicals and without producing

environmentally-persistent chemical effluent...

Topical applications include; decontamination of poultry houses, poultry crates, feeding

systems transport containers and vehicles entering and leaving poultry farms..

Peter Aldiss of Ozone-Direct.Com says, "This technology has been under development for

some years and sadly was not available during previous animal health scares, such as the Foot

& Mouth outbreak, however, we believe the technology offers real advantages in simplicity

and convenience of use, which means it will be used when less convenient systems may stand

idle.
