Modern intensive pig farming meets tough challenges. High stocking density speeds up bacteria and virus spread, and toxic gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide build up in pig barns. This makes swine prone to respiratory and digestive illnesses, and strong barn odors may also cause local environmental complaints.
Traditional disinfectants have obvious downsides: harsh chemicals stress livestock during application and corrode pens, equipment and pipelines over time.
To tackle these problems, our SHOOTHOCL® hypochlorous acid (HOCl) generators provide an on-site solution. The system produces slightly acidic HOCl water on demand for simultaneous disinfection and deodorization, helping pig farms establish a cost-effective biosecurity barrier.
Safe In-Shed Fogging directly with Live Stock
Farms can run spatial fogging treatments without removing pigs. HOCl water rapidly inactivates airborne aerosolized pathogens and neutralizes odor-causing molecules through oxidation rather than masking them. This significantly lowers barn stench and mitigates swine respiratory disease risks at the source.
Full-Scene Sanitization to Block Disease Transmission
Surface Disinfection: Washing and also spraying pens, floors, feed troughs, and manure ditches effectively eliminates harmful pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella.
Water Line Purification: Connected directly to drinking water pipes, HOCl removes internal biofilms, purifying livestock drinking water and reducing intestinal disorders.
Turnaround Disinfection: Elevating the concentration during empty-barn periods enables total-farm sanitization, effectively severing cross-batch disease transmission.
Practical HOCl Concentration Reference
In-barn Fogging & Deodorization (with pigs present): 50–80 ppm
Surface Disinfection (pens & troughs): 100–150 ppm
Drinking Pipeline Biofilm Removal: 2–5 ppm
On-Demand Production Reduces Farm Operating Costs
On-site generation eliminates the need to transport and store hazardous chemical stocks. Furthermore, its non-corrosive properties extend the service life of barn equipment—making it perfectly scalable for both small-scale farms and industrial breeding operations at the same time.

FAQ
Is fogging with pigs present completely safe? Will it cause respiratory irritation or stress?
Yes, it is completely safe. Traditional chemical disinfectants (such as glutaraldehyde, peracetic acid, or caustic soda) are harsh and frequently trigger respiratory stress in livestock. HOCl is non-irritating to swine eyes, skin, and respiratory mucous membranes. It can be atomized directly while pigs feed and roam, maintaining complete biosecurity without interrupting normal growth.
