Benefits of technology

0046] Medication of drinking water with anolyte solution supplied to day-old chicklets for the first period resulted in a significant reduction in mortalities throughout the growth and finishing period. Mortalities increased in all the groups from the 4th week onwards mainly due to respiratory disease. It is envisaged that these could be reduced by fogging the environment with anolyte solution to eliminate airborne respiratory pathogens by means of respiratory intake.
0047] It has been found that the efficacy of the use of the anolyte solution in the treatment of live animals depends up

EXAMPLE 4

Broilers (Chicklets)

[0051] Production parameters (as measured by mortality reduction, final slaughter mass, kilogram meat produced per m.sup.2 floor space and feed conversion rates) in the following example were significantly enhanced. In this trial the above parameters obtained on the same site in 2 previous cycles (i.e. 110 and 111) were compared to the experimental one (i.e. 112) where broiler chickens were again treated with anolyte. The site consisted of 6 broiler houses each stocked with 27 00 broilers.

3 FEED CYCLE AVE FLOCK MORTALITY AVE AVE MASS KG / M.sup.2 CONVERSION NO AGE % AGE (KG) PER HOUSE RATE 110 37.1 6.01 39.5 1.805 30.97 1.88 111 37.1 9.09 39.0 1.741 29.23 1.92 112 36.6 5.25 40.9 2.006 35.07 1.86

[0052] It is evident from the above results that when the anionic solution was dosed into the drinking water at an inclusion rate of 15%, fewer chickens died, the live mass was significantly higher whilst converting food more efficiently. In this trial approximately...

Weaner Piglets

[0053] In this trial the effect of the addition of anolyte on the productivity of weaners was studied. The trial was carried out over two rounds with a total of 16 replicates per round and 400 pigs per group. Microbial examinations of drinking water showed the total number of bacteria to be reduced from 3 500 000 / ml to zero and of Coliforms from >160 / ml to zero when either 25% or 10% anolyte was added. Mortalities and clinical cases showed no difference between treatment and control groups.

[0054] The following table summarizes results:

[0055] It will be appreciated that many variations in detail are possible without departing from the scope and / or spirit of the invention as set out in the claims hereinafter.

Abstract

This invention relates to a composition for use in the treatment of pathogenic microorganisms in a live animal, the composition comprising an electro-chemically activated, anion-containing aqueous solution.

Description

[0001] This invention relates to the use of an aqueous solution in the preparation of a medicament for use in the treatment of live animals. More particularly, the invention relates to a remedy for improving the growth performance of pigs and poultry, and to a method of treating pigs and poultry to enhance their growth performance.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002] For the purposes of this specification, the term "animal" should be construed to include within its meaning sheep, cattle, goats, pigs, chickens, ostriches, reptiles and the like; the term "disease" should be construed to include within its meaning diarrhoea; the term "pathogen" should be construed to include within its meaning microorganisms such as E-coli; and the term "medicament" should be construed to include within its meaning oral bactericides and bactericidal inhalants. The applicant envisages that the invention will be applicable particularly, but not exclusively, in the preparation of a medicament for use in the ...
