In the animal husbandry industry, maintaining a good breeding environment and ensuring animal health is the key to achieving high efficiency.
In recent years, hypochlorous acid generators, as an innovative technical means, have gradually emerged in animal husbandry,
bringing new opportunities for change and development to the industry
Working principle of hypochlorous acid generator
Hypochlorous acid generator mainly produces hypochlorous acid (HClO) by electrolyzing salt water.
The core principle is to use the electrolysis process to make salt (NaCl) undergo a series of chemical reactions under specific conditions.
At the anode, the chloride ion (Cl⁻) loses electrons and is oxidized to form chlorine gas (Cl₂), which further reacts with water to form hypochlorous acid
and hydrochloric acid. At the cathode, water gains electrons to produce hydrogen (H₂) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻).
The whole process is carried out orderly in a specific electrode and electrolytic cell structure inside the generator,
and finally produces a solution containing a certain concentration of hypochlorous acid. This production method is green and environmentally friendly,
and the raw materials are only salt and water, avoiding the environmental pollution and safety risks that may be caused by the traditional chemical reagent preparation of hypochlorous acid.
Application of hypochlorous acid generator in breeding farm
<1: Efficient sterilization and disinfection: there are a large number of bacteria, viruses and fungi and
other microorganisms in the livestock breeding environment, which are an important source of animal disease transmission.
Hypochlorous acid has a strong oxidizing ability, and its disinfection ability is far more than that of traditional disinfectants.
Hypochlorous acid molecules can easily penetrate the cell wall of microorganisms and oxidize with important biological macromolecules
such as enzymes and proteins in the cells, thereby destroying the structure and function of microorganisms and achieving the purpose of rapid a
nd efficient sterilization. Whether it is common Escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus, or foot-and-mouth disease virus,
bird flu virus, which is more harmful to cultured animals, hypochlorous acid can show excellent killing effect.
Studies have shown that under the right concentration, the elimination rate of hypochlorous acid to a variety of pathogens can reach more than 99%,
creating a relatively sterile space for the culture environment.
2, Remove odor: breeding sites are often accompanied by pungent odor, which mainly comes from the decomposition of animal feces,
urine and feed fermentation. The odor will not only affect the working environment of the breeding personnel, reduce their work comfort,
but more importantly, animals in the odor environment for a long time are prone to stress reactions, affecting growth and development
and production performance. The hypochlorous acid solution produced by the hypochlorous acid generator
can react chemically with the components of hydrogen sulfide (₂S) and ammonia (NH) in the odor gas to oxidize and
decompose into harmless substances, thus effectively removing the odor in the culture environment.
By regularly using hypochlorous acid for environmental spray disinfection, the air quality of breeding sites can be significantly improved,
providing a fresh and comfortable growing environment for animals.
3, prevention of disease transmission: In livestock breeding, disease outbreaks often bring huge economic losses to farmers.
The hypochlorous acid generator greatly reduces the transmission of pathogens by comprehensively disinfecting the breeding environment,
breeding equipment and animal drinking water. For example, hypochlorous acid disinfection channels are set up at the entrance
of the farm to disinfect personnel and vehicles entering the farm, which can effectively prevent the introduction of foreign pathogens.
In the breeding house, the regular use of hypochlorous acid to spray the floor, walls, railings and other disinfection,
can reduce the risk of animal infection. For animal drinking water, the use of hypochlorous acid for disinfection can kill harmful microorganisms in the water,
ensure the safety of animal drinking water, and prevent the occurrence of diseases from the source.
4, to promote animal growth: a good breeding environment and healthy physical condition is the basis of animal growth and development.
The use of hypochlorous acid generators has improved the breeding environment, reduced the stress response of animals caused by infections and diseases,
and enabled animals to grow in a relatively stable and comfortable environment. The study found that in farms using hypochlorous acid generators,
the feed intake of animals increased significantly, the feed conversion rate increased, and the growth rate accelerated. For example,
in pig farms, after the use of hypochlorous acid disinfection, the incidence of diarrhea of piglets is significantly reduce,
the growth performance is significantly improve, and the fattening pig outage weight is also increase.
This not only improves the efficiency of farming, but also provides the market with more high-quality and healthy livestock products.

Hypochlorous acid generator in animal husbandry application cases
Many livestock farms have actively introduced hypochlorous acid generators, and achieved remarkable results.
[Farm name 1] is a large-scale chicken farm, before the use of hypochlorous acid generator, bacteria and viruses in the chicken house serious breeding,chickens often occur respiratory diseases and intestinal diseases, resulting in high mortality of chickens, egg production is also greatly affecte.
After the introduction of hypochlorous acid generators, the farm spray-disinfected the chicken house every day,
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected the breeding equipment every week, and added an appropriate amount of hypochlorous acid to the chickens’ drinking water.
After a period of practice, the air quality in the chicken house has been significantly improve, the odor has been reduce,
and the health of the chickens has been greatly improve. The mortality rate of chickens has been reduce from the original 10% to less than 3%, the egg production has been increase by about 15%, and the breeding efficiency has been significantly improve.
