Recently, a set of intelligent epidemic prevention equipment integrated with hypochlorous acid generator and high-pressure atomization system has completed installation and commissioning in a large-scale pig farm in Jiangsu Province. And officially entered the trial operation stage. Through the innovative mode of “on-site preparation of hypochlorous acid + micron atomization”. The system realizes the deodor purification of pig houses and the prevention and control of African swine fever virus simultaneously. Which provides a practical operation example for the implementation of biosafety protection policies and the improvement of breeding environment management level in Jiangsu Province.
Comparison of the deodorization effect of hypochlorous acid generators with other traditional disinfection methods
“Traditional disinfection methods either have blind spots or cause unpleasant odors. However, the system consisting of a hypochlorous acid generator and atomization truly achieves ‘integrated odor removal and epidemic prevention’.” The pig farm manager explained. Hypochlorous acid, as an efficient and environmentally friendly disinfectant. Can directly decompose foul molecules such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide through oxidation. Eliminating the odor at the source rather than simply masking it. The trial operation data shows that the ammonia concentration in the pigsty has decreased by more than 60%. And the removal rate of hydrogen sulfide has reached 40%.
This has completely changed the previous “strong odor upon entering the sty and heavy smell upon exiting the pen” breeding environment. More importantly, hypochlorous acid has a strong killing effect on pathogenic microorganisms such as African swine fever virus. And the stable fog layer formed after atomization can penetrate into the gaps of the pigsty and the corners of equipment. Solving the problem of difficult coverage by manual disinfection and significantly reducing the risk of disease transmission.
From a technical perspective. The core advantage of this system lies in “instant production and precise distribution”. The hypochlorous acid generator does not need to store finished disinfectant products. It can produce high-purity hypochlorous acid water on-site using only salt. Water and electrical energy. This not only avoids the safety hazards associated with the transportation and storage of traditional disinfectants. But also ensures the activity of the disinfection components. The accompanying intelligent atomization system can precisely control the dosage through timed and intermittent spraying modes.
The water mist can remain suspended for over 30 minutes. Which can fully react with air pollutants and pathogenic microorganisms. While not causing the pigsty to become damp and waterlogged. Thus ensuring the comfort of the pig herd. Moreover, after hypochlorous acid disinfection. It can be degraded into water and sodium chloride. Without any residues or irritants. It is friendly to the respiratory mucosa of pigs. Resolving the contradiction between traditional disinfection and livestock safety.
Currently, this system has been fully implemented in key areas such as fattening houses, nursery houses, and manure treatment zones. During the trial operation period, the focus will be on monitoring the deodorization effect, virus disinfection rate, and equipment stability. Next, the technical team will optimize the spray parameters based on the operation data to form a standardized plan that is suitable for the climate characteristics and breeding mode of Jiangsu. Industry experts point out that the successful application of this system provides a new path for the “environmental protection + epidemic prevention” coordinated advancement in large-scale pig farms. It is expected to promote the transformation of pig farming in Jiangsu Province towards intensification, intelligence, and greenness, and inject technological impetus into ensuring the safety of livestock products and promoting the high-quality development of the livestock industry.
FAQ
For pig farms using hypochlorous acid generators, is it better to use electrolyzed salt or electrolyzed hydrochloric acid?
In the pig farm disinfection scenario, electrolytic salt technology is a more universal, safer and more feasible option, especially suitable for medium and large-scale pig farms and scenarios that focus on pig disinfection. Its advantages of easy raw material acquisition, simple maintenance and high biological safety can effectively reduce the compliance risks and operational costs of pig farm disinfection. The electrolytic hydrochloric acid technology is more suitable for customers with easily accessible raw materials.
In conclusion: Before selecting the equipment, pig farms should consider their own scale, disinfection scenarios, compliance conditions and budget. They should prioritize choosing equipment that supports “adjustable concentration” (such as electrolytic salt equipment can produce disinfectant solutions with concentrations ranging from 50 to 800 mg/L), to meet the disinfection needs of different areas. At the same time, regardless of which technology is chosen, it is necessary to ensure that the equipment has the core capability of “stably generating high-purity hypochlorous acid” (with a purity of hypochlorous acid greater than 80%), to avoid the impact on disinfection effectiveness and pig health due to excessive by-products.
