Industry Application Example 6

Treatment of the drinking water and feed in animal husbandary (various parts of Japan):

1) When ITA-treated water is sprayed inside the silo over condensed feed mixed with cut dry grass, cows showed a dramatic increase of milk production while at the same time it reduced the cases of illness related to mastitis. Other added benefits were the reduction of faul odors and prompt use of excrement for manure.
2) As a result of processing the drinking water with ITC for pigs, we witnessed a noticeable increase of reproductive abiliy, faster growth to marketable size, leaner, and tastier and better colored meat with reduced fat. Less faul smell and quicker manuare production were also accompanied by fewer flies.
3) In the case of chickens, egg bearing rate was improved and the productive period extended much longer. Similarily, faul ordrs were lessened and a much simpler dry manure production became possible.

Common among all three cases above is the animals' changed reaction to approaching humans and other noises. They are no longer surprised or annoyed by these outside stimuli, perhaps contributing to the above-mentioned improvements.

TLSL Comments:

(1) In the case of milk cows, the milk production rose more than 20%, while the pigs yielded a considerably higher meat ratio by weight, also resulting in higher quality hams commanding more than 10% higher wholesale price than in the past. Chickens extended their high egg bearing period from the past 120 days to 180 days, a 50% increase.
(2) The profitability of the farm operators was improved by the higher feed efficiency, lower mortality rate, and better manure marketing opportunity.

OIARI Comments:

In China, red pig meat is being preferred by urban consuers, and as a result, chemicals are often used to
reduce fat and colorize meat for better prices in the market, from time to time producing serious health hazards. The ITC water and feed treatment will completely eliminate the need for such chemicals.
