The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has confirmed that Aquatize® eliminated (> 99.999%) the following eleven bacteria with the use of either 1:2000 or 1:5000 dilutions of Aquatize®.
| Campylobacter jejun | Escherichia coli (field isolate) |
| Escherichia coli 0157:H7 | Listeria monocytogenes |
| Pasteurella multocida | Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
| Salmonella enteritidis | Salmonella typhimurium |
| Shigella sonnei | Streptococcus faecalis |
| Streptococcus suis |
Research conducted by ABC Research Corporation, Gainesville, Fl, 1999.
Aquatize®, the stabilized product, was 100-fold more effective in killing bacteria in aqueous solutions than pure sodium chlorite (31%).
Research conducted at PARC Institute, Easton, MD, 2000.
The infection of broiler chickens by Salmonella typhimurium was ameliorated by Aquatize® at a 1:5000 dilution administered into the drinking water from Days 01 to 14.
Research conducted by Pardue and Jones, NC State, Poultry Science 72: 259-266, 1993.
Aquatize® significantly improved performance, condemnations, and yielded an overall cost reduction in a large field study conducted on the Delmarva Peninsula.
Field study conducted by Mountaire Farms, 1995.
Floor pen studies have confirmed field study observations that Aquatize® improved broiler performance and lowered bacterial counts in feces; length of study was 46 days. A benefit: cost ratio of 3.5:1 was determined in the pen trial.
Research conducted at PARC Institute, 1999.
Aquatize® significantly reduced the effects of Clostridium perfringens in broiler chicks challenged with large numbers of bacteria. Birds received Aquatize® in their drinking water days 00-21 and were challenged with the pathogen on day 05. Three trials confirmed the observations made at the PARC Institute, 1999 and 2000.
Research presented at Poultry Science Assoc. annual meeting, August 2000.
Aquatize® significantly reduced the impact of Clostridium perfringens in broiler chicks (Days 00-21) when broilers were reared in a “natural” environment, using Cocci-Vac B as the coccidiostat at hatch and no antibiotics.
Three trials conducted at PARC Institute, 1999 and 2000.
Aquatize® administered at either 1:2000 or 1:5000 dilutions resulted in increased macrophage sensitivity to inflammatory stimulation. This enhanced the first line of immunological defense in poultry.
Research conducted by Dr. M.A. Qureshi (NC State Univ.) and presented at Southern Poultry Science Society – January 2000
Turkeys infected with Bordetella overcame the disease if Aquatize® was added to the drinking water at 1:5000 during days 00-17.
Research conducted by Pardue and Luginbuhl, NC State Univ., Avian Diseases 42: 140-145, 1998..
Aquatize® reduced eggshell bacterial counts by at least 98% at a dilution of 1:1000. Washing with the Aquatize® did not reduce moisture content. Although a small number of eggs were used in the research, there were no significant differences in other hatching characteristics of the eggs.
Wineland, NC State Univ., 1996, conducted the research.
Aquatize® reduced both scouring scores and the total number of calves that scoured when it was added to the milk replacer during a 5 week trial period. Growth rate and feed conversion were each improved by about 12% at the highest dosage of Aquatize® tested by comparison to controls that received no treatment. Each treatment group had 42 calves housed individually.
Research conducted by Dr. Ervin Coblentz, Americalf Corp., 1995.
Fifty pound (22.5 Kg) pigs were divided into test groups and the impact of Aquatize® on fecal bacterial counts were measured in a five-day study. Pigs receiving Aquatize® in the drinking water at 1:5000 had 92% less bacteria CFUs than controls without Aquatize®.
Research conducted at PARC Institute, 1999.
Aquatize® at a dilution of 1:2000 destroyed the Newcastle Disease Virus that was added to Feces.
Research conducted by Embrex Corp., October, 1999.
Total bacteria on dairy cattle teats were eliminated using a 0.1% dilution of Aquatize® for 15 seconds.
Two research trials were conducted by PARC Institute 1999 and 2000.
