The contamination generated inside farms from feed, excreta, and other waste directly affects animal health, significantly reducing the productivity of livestock operations.
In the case of dairy cattle, certain diseases, and in particular mastitis, are one of the main problems of animal welfare and also economic losses in dairy cows, with incidences ranging from 25% to 45%. Mastitis is a multifactorial disease in which the environment, pathogens, and host (the cow) interact with each other.
The microorganisms that cause mastitis are classified as contagious or environmental. Contagious microorganisms, such as S. aureus, S. dysgalactiae, and S. agalactiae, do not survive long outside the cow and usually spread between animals during milking. On the other hand, environmental microorganisms, such as E. coli, S. uberis, S. faecalis, and Klebsiella spp., are opportunistic invaders of the udder and can be found in various substrates such as bedding, feces, etc.
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA, 2009), the most important risk factors for mastitis are lack of hygiene in the bedding (especially for environmental microorganisms) and improperly designed, used, or maintained milking equipment (especially for contagious microorganisms). The environment where cows are housed (especially resting and walking areas, as well as the milking parlor) must be clean, dry, and well-ventilated.
Until now, the way to clean the air that animals breathe in the livestock industry was by installing passive technology filtration systems or mechanical ventilation with outdoor air renewal.
PUROH has developed a revolutionary device for environmental hygiene in dairy farms, where standard air purifiers are not an efficient or recommended option. PUROH Cyclohnic is an environmental contaminant, dust, and particle purifier, especially suitable for increasing hygiene and eliminating the most frequent microorganisms.
Its active technology is based on the natural Open-Air Factor reaction from neutral radicals. Its reactive action neutralizes the microorganisms present in the environment by denaturing their membranes. This technology is completely harmless to animals and their caregivers.
In this link, you can find the technical specifications and clinical studies, as well as a more detailed description of the technology at the microbiological level. The technology already has Medical Device certification from the FDA and the EU. Contact us and we will be happy to provide you with more details about the product and how it can benefit your operation, as the increase in productivity is immediate, making the return on investment very high.
