Experiments on the improvement of aquaculture water quality and harmful gases in chicken coops by Slightly acidic hypochlorous acid molecular water

2025-06-12 17:26:51

Introduction

In modern aquaculture, water quality management and air quality control have always been key factors affecting animal health and production efficiency. Although traditional disinfection methods such as chlorine and bleaching powder are effective, they have disadvantages such as dangerous operation and high residues. Chlory Company utilized its advanced hypochlorous acid generator technology to conduct systematic experiments on slightly acidic hypochlorous acid molecular water (pH5.0-6.5) in improving aquaculture water quality and controlling harmful gases in chicken houses, achieving encouraging results.

 

What is slightly acidic hypochlorous acid molecular water?

Slightly acidic hypochlorous acid molecular water is a safe and efficient disinfectant. Its main component is hypochlorous acid (HClO), and its pH value is controlled in the range of 5.0-6.5. Compared with traditional sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) solution, slightly acidic hypochlorous acid molecular water has the following advantages:

 

High bactericidal efficiency: Under slightly acidic conditions, hypochlorous acid molecules (HClO) account for more than 90%, and the bactericidal ability is 80-100 times that of hypochlorite ions (ClO-)

Good safety: no irritating odor, no harmful residue

Strong stability: can maintain activity for a long time under appropriate conditions

Environmental protection: The decomposition products are water and trace salt, which is non-polluting to the environment

 

Technical features of Chlory's hypochlorous acid generator

The hypochlorous acid generator provided by Chlory uses advanced electrolysis technology to directly convert salt and water into high-purity hypochlorous acid solution.

Equipment features include:

On-demand production: on-site preparation, no need to store hazardous chemicals

Precise control: adjustable pH value and effective chlorine concentration (10-200ppm)

Intelligent management: Equipped with IoT module, it can be remotely monitored and adjusted

Low operating cost: The production cost of each liter of hypochlorous acid solution is only about 0.03 yuan

 

Aquaculture water quality improvement experiment

Experimental design

We selected 4 drinking water systems of the same specifications in a large chicken farm for comparative testing:

Control group: conventional chlorination treatment (bleaching powder)

Test Group 1: Slightly Acidic Hypochlorous Acid Water (5ppm Available Chlorine)

Test Group 2: Slightly Acidic Hypochlorous Acid Water (10ppm Available Chlorine)

Test Group 3: Slightly Acidic Hypochlorous Acid Water (20ppm Available Chlorine)

Water quality indicators were monitored daily, and the test period was 30 days.

 

Test results

The results showed that the drinking water system treated with slightly acidic hypochlorous acid water had significantly better bacterial control than traditional methods and could effectively prevent biofilm formation. It is worth noting that the 10ppm group has achieved very good results, and higher concentrations have no obvious additional advantages.

 

Test on harmful gas control in chicken house

Test methods

Select two chicken houses with the same structure (each housing 5,000 broilers):

Control house: conventional spray disinfection (twice a week)

Test house: Spray with slightly acidic hypochlorous acid water (50ppm) produced by Chlory generator (once a day, 10 minutes each time)

Monitor the concentration of major harmful gases and chicken health indicators.

 

Test results

The air quality in the experimental house was significantly improved, especially the concentrations of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide dropped significantly, and the incidence of respiratory diseases in the chickens was significantly reduced.

 

Economic Benefit Analysis

From the perspective of long-term operation, it has obvious advantages:

Reduced disinfection costs: Save about 40% compared to traditional methods

Reduced medical expenses: Savings in veterinary drug costs due to reduced disease incidence

Improved production performance: A good environment increases feed conversion rate by 3-5%

Reduced labor costs: high degree of automation, reducing manual operations

The estimated payback period is 8-12 months.

 

Usage suggestions

Based on our test results, we recommend that farms use slightly acidic hypochlorous acid water according to the following scheme:

Disinfection of drinking water system: Continuously add 5-10ppm of effective chlorine to slightly acidic hypochlorous acid water

Environmental spray disinfection: Use 50ppm solution, spray 1-2 times a day

Equipment cleaning: flush with 100-200ppm solution once a week

Treatment during epidemic period: can be increased to 20-30ppm (drinking water) and 100ppm (environment) in a short term

 

In conclusion

Slightly acidic hypochlorous acid molecular water is effective in improving breeding water quality and controlling harmful gases in chicken houses. This technology not only improves biosafety, but also improves animal welfare, ultimately increasing farming efficiency. Chlory hypochlorous acid generator is an ideal disinfection solution for modern farms due to its stability, safety and economy.

 

We recommend that more farms try this innovative technology and optimize its usage according to their own conditions to jointly promote the green and sustainable development of the farming industry.
