Aquatize

AQUATIZE® is an EPA-approved and registered sodium chlorite solution proven to dramatically reduce or eliminate salmonella, E-coli and nine other dangerous pathogens in the drinking water of livestock, including poultry. In a variety of studies, it has been shown to be more stable and effective at improving feed conversion, increasing weight gain and survivability than chlorine dioxide. AQUATIZE® is applied at low concentrations to the drinking water of poultry, swine, turkeys, and calves, and is easy to use. If stored in accordance with the EPA label, AQUATIZE retains high levels of activity for two years. AQUATIZE® is formulated for high efficacy, low toxicity and superior biodegradability.

AQUATIZE® has shown outstanding efficacy against these 11 pathogens listed on its EPA-approved label:

Campylobacter jejuni (ATCC 29428)
Escherichia coli (ATCC 11229)
Escherichia coli 015:H7 (ATCC 43895)
Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 7644)
Pasteurella multocida (ATCC 6530)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442) *
Salmonella enteritidis (ATCC 13076) *
Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 14028)
Shigella sonnei (ATCC 9290)
Streptococcus faecalis (ATCC 19083)
Streptococcus suis (ATCC 43765)

Unlike many animal drinking water disinfectants on the market, AQUATIZE has a vast library of scientific data behind it -- in many cases, the data has been published in peer-reviewed journals and researched by respected organizations in their field.

AQUATIZE vs. Antibiotics

The worldwide consumer demand for antibiotic-free broiler meat continues to rise. The successful commercial production of broilers, in the absence of antibiotics depends in part, on the control of necrotic enteritis.

Salinomy & Bacitracin MD	314	1.531	1.92	5%

AQUATIZE + Sodium Bicarbonate vs. the Competition

In the study referenced below, the combination of AQUATIZE and sodium bicarbonate added to the drinking water gave better improvements in performance, livability and bacterial reduction than three other competing products — BioSentry, Iodine, Oxine — and antibiotics Salinomycin and Bacitracin. These astounding results indicate that including stabilized sodium chlorite and a small amount of sodium bicarbonate in the drinking water is a very important means to overcome completely the disastrous impact of exposure to Coccidia and Clostridia in broilers, unfortunately a common experience in field situations.

Group	Weight (grams)	Feed Conversion	Lesion Score	Mortality %	Reduction of Bacterial CFU in Feces
Uninfected Control	520	1.358	.14	3%	11%
Infected Control	383	1.476	2.64	8%	N/A

Using Aquatize in the Absence of Antibiotics

AQUATIZE vs. Bleach

AQUATIZE kills microorganisms by a complicated series of reactions, while bleach kills microorganisms by chlorine chemistry. In side-by-side poultry tests, bleach treatment groups did not show substantial improvement in performance compared to untreated, infected groups of birds. In marked contrast, in the replicated pen trial below; mortality, weight gain, and feed conversion in groups of birds receiving AQUATIZE in their drinking water were improved dramatically over the infected bird groups, not receiving AQUATIZE in the drinking water.
