Intra Hydrocare - Contaminated Drinking Water - Brochure

Contaminated drinking water directly impacts animal health, welfare and performance. Adding medicines, vaccines and nutritional supplements to the drinking water creates a biofilm resulting in organic pollution of drinking water. Biofilm is the breeding ground for pathogenic microorganisms. There are many pathogens that are transmitted via the drinking water system, such as E. coli, Salmonella, Avian Influenza Virus, African Swine Fever Virus. Once such a pathogen is present in the drinking water system, it can quickly infect the whole population, as the pathogens are directly consumed.
