In the swine industry producers are well versed in what it takes to raise healthy pigs sustainably. However, one of the areas of raising hogs that can get overlooked is water quality. Water quality issues are often addressed only after they have become an issue.

Pathogen control is vital in raising healthy pigs as it helps limit disease causing agents that can affect the bottom line by damaging the main performance indicators on an operation such as feed efficiency, growth rate, mortality and more. Guillermo Romero, senior technical sales manager with Kemin says that clean water plays a vital role in hog production.

Romero says that simply put, if producers are not treating and disinfecting their water they are limiting the upside of their animals.

He says that PRO-OXINE® AH from Kemin is offered as part of a comprehensive water sanitation and disinfection program to improve an operation’s water supply.

Kemin offers a fully customizable system that administers PRO-OXINE® AH into the water line.
