Why it works
The Key to Healthier Drinking Water for Your Pigs
Pigs consume up to 10 litres of water per day — and their drinking systems are a breeding ground for E. coli, Salmonella, Clostridium, and biofilm. Contaminated water lines reduce feed conversion ratios, trigger scours in piglets, increase antibiotic dependency, and shorten productive lifespans. Conventional solutions — chlorine dosing, organic acids, hydrogen peroxide — corrode pipelines, require withdrawal periods, and destroy the microbial balance in the gut.
Sanitify Probiotic Water Treatment takes a different approach. Our concentrated Bacillus fermentis probiotic formula colonises the water distribution system, outcompeting pathogens through competitive exclusion. Instead of killing everything and leaving sterile, reactive water, Sanitify maintains a stable, beneficial microbial environment from header tank to nipple drinker — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Pig farmers across Europe report cleaner pipelines, reduced scour incidence, and measurable improvements in daily weight gain within 4–6 weeks of consistent use. No chemicals. No withdrawal period. No pipe corrosion.
Simple to Use – Just Add to the Water System
Discover the Benefits of Probiotic Pig Water Treatment
Biofilm-Free Pipelines: Bacillus bacteria produce enzymes that dissolve biofilm at the molecular level. Nipple drinkers and water lines stay clear of organic deposits, improving flow rates and reducing the bacterial load that reaches each pig.
Pathogen Suppression Without Chemicals: Competitive exclusion means Sanitify probiotics colonise surfaces before E. coli and Salmonella can establish. No chlorine, no organic acids, zero withdrawal period — fully compatible with organic and antibiotic-free production systems.
Improved Gut Health and Feed Conversion: Pigs that drink water with an active probiotic profile show better intestinal microbiome balance. Studies on Bacillus-supplemented drinking water indicate reduced incidence of post-weaning diarrhoea and a 3–7% improvement in feed conversion ratio in finishing herds.
Reduced Medication Dependency: Cleaner water directly correlates with lower prophylactic antibiotic use. This is critical as EU regulations continue to restrict preventive antibiotic treatment in livestock production.
Safe for All Production Stages: Sows, piglets from weaning age, growing pigs, and finishing herds. The probiotic formula is non-toxic, has no residue, and poses no risk to the handler or the animal.
The Science Behind Probiotic Water Purification
Bacillus fermentis is a spore-forming, gram-positive bacterium that survives in concentrated form and activates in aqueous environments. When dosed into a water system, it germinates and multiplies across pipe walls, tank surfaces, and nipple mechanisms — forming a living biofilm that actively excludes pathogens.
The mechanism is threefold: competitive exclusion (taking up attachment sites before pathogens can), enzyme secretion (breaking down organic matter and biofilm matrices), and bacteriocin production (natural antimicrobial peptides that inhibit Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella).
A 2021 controlled trial conducted in commercial pig facilities demonstrated a 68% reduction in total viable bacterial count in water lines over 28 days of probiotic treatment. Flow rates through nipple drinkers improved by an average of 22% as biofilm deposits were broken down. No negative health events were recorded in any of the treatment groups.
Unlike chlorine or peroxide dosing, the probiotic effect is cumulative — the longer the product is used, the more stable and pathogen-resistant the system becomes.
Where Pig Farmers Use Sanitify
Sanitify probiotic water treatment is in active use across all major pig production system types:
- Farrowing units — Protecting neonatal piglets from waterborne E. coli challenge in the critical first 7 days
- Nursery/weaner accommodation — Reducing post-weaning diarrhoea by maintaining stable gut microbiome through clean drinking water
- Finishing barns — Improving daily weight gain and feed conversion efficiency in the last 8–10 weeks of production
- Breeding facilities and AI centres — Ensuring boar and sow health with pathogen-free water throughout gestation and lactation
- Outdoor and deep-litter systems — Effective in trough and bowl drinker systems where contamination risk is higher
- Large-scale integrated operations — Compatible with proportional dosing systems for centralised water distribution to multiple buildings
Dosing is simple: add the concentrate (available in 30ml or 5L) to your header tank or dosing pump at 3 ml per 100 litres. No special equipment required. The treatment remains active in the water system for up to 72 hours after dosing.

What customers are saying
Sanitify Probiotic Pool Cleaner has completely changed our pool care. We don’t miss the chemical smells or the irritation – the water is always clean and clear. Best decision we made for our pool!
We wanted a natural alternative to chlorine for our pool, and Sanitify was the perfect solution. Not only does it keep the pool spotless, but I feel better knowing there are no harmful chemicals around my kids. The water smells fresh, and we couldn’t be happier!
My kids have sensitive skin, so using chemicals in the pool was always a concern. With Sanitify, there’s no irritation, no red eyes, and the water feels so much softer. I can’t recommend it enough for families!
