HYDROSTER - Water Disinfection Using A Natural Dietary Approach

HYDROSTER is an organic biocidal disinfectant, biocidal meaning it kills inactivates all types of organisms in a nonselective manner, viruses, bacteria, fungi and even spores. A disinfectant does not necessarily do this, for most disinfectants are selective in what they kill. It is even effective against polio virus TB and many antibiotic-resistant organisms which have resulted from the extensive use and overuse of antibiotics. There are only a few extremely corrosive and toxic disinfectants that are effective against fungi spores, however they must be used at very high dosage levels making them uneconomical and/or dangerous to use.

HYDROSTER is harmless to poultry and livestock and is formulated with a food grade iodine trace mineral that plays an important role in promoting growth and development and helps in the burning of excess fat. In animals, iodine deficiency can result in lowered metabolism, abortions, anemia, retarded growth etc. There have been no reported cases of toxicity resulting from too much iodine, which occurs naturally in soil, food and water.

Ingredients: A concentrated liquid solution of selected organic plant extracts of natural origin, citric acid combined with nutritional food grade iodine salts for maximizing free iodine I2 availability using a patent pending process. It should be understood that only the free iodine portion of any iodine (iodophor) product is biocidal. Titratable levels of iodine in no way indicate the efficacy of a specific products ability to kill bacteria (microorganisms)

The normal maintenance use level is 1 part of HYDROSTER to 30,000 parts of the animals drinking water.

HYDROSTER can increase water consumption significantly, in poor quality high bacteria count and putrid (high sulfur-rotten egg) smelling drinking water. With the regular use of HYDROSTER at a rate of 1 to 30,000 parts drinking water it will help to reduce the incidence of mastitis and prevent foot rot in beef and dairy cows. It should also be noted that the average dairy cow requires more than 4 liters of water for every liter of milk produced.

• Improve Water Quality
• Increase Water Consumption
• Increase Performance
• Lower Disease Incidence

HYDROSTER has the ability to effectively disinfect livestock drinking water and contains organic ingredients of natural origin, that act much like a water flavoring and odor control agent that is very appealing to animals, which increases water consumption.

This is a very important point for producers considering that the animals total body weight is comprised of as much as 60% moisture (WATER).

Iodine: Is a trace mineral that plays an important role in promoting growth and development and helps in the burning of excess fat. Iodine deficiency can result in lowered metabolism, abortions, anemia, retarded growth etc. There have been no reported cases of toxicity resulting from too much iodine, which occurs naturally in soil, food and water.

• Poultry Broilers and Layers: Use 1part HYDROSTER to 30,000 parts water regular solution
• Emergency Situations: Use 1part HYDROSTER to 10,000 for 2 to 4 days or until control is achieved

In birds, iodine deficiency usually results in a condition known as goiter. Poultry feed conversion efficiency can drop by as much as 34 % coupled with quality downgrading. The fat level drip loss increases, and the producers’ overall production costs can result in very marginal profits and even major losses. Layers that suffer from iodine deficiency produce weak eggshells and high mortality in chicks shell death.

HYDROSTER is effective in disinfecting actinomycosis, arthritis aspergillosis, e.coli, mastitis, swine erysipelas, swine influenza, virus pneumonia, ringworm, salmonellosis, respiratory disease. It has also been reported that drinking water treated with HYDROSTER reduces the incidence of pigs’ tail biting.

• Improve Water Quality
• Increase Water Consumption *

HYDROSTER can increase water consumption in poor quality high bacteria count drinking water by as much as 30%. Swine Sows, piglets, pre-starters, starters, growers and finishers can all benefit with the use of HYDROSTER during all stages of production.

Use Rates: When injection pumps or medicator units are used, they should be adjusted to provide a minimum of 1part HYDROSTER to 30,000 parts water of the animals drinking water.
