Why it works

Why Livestock Farmers Are Using Probiotic Water Treatment

  • Sanitify probiotic treatment reduces E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter in livestock drinking water systems
  • Bacillus bacteria colonise drinker nipples, water lines, and header tanks — eliminating biofilm reservoirs of pathogenic bacteria
  • No withdrawal period — safe for meat, milk, and egg production with no chemical residues in animal products

Dose the Water System — Animals Drink Clean

Add Sanitify to the livestock header tank or main water supply line at 5ml per 1,000L. For poultry drinker lines, flush with Sanitify solution (10ml per 1,000L) during between-flock cleanouts. Bacillus bacteria distribute through all drinker nipples and water lines, dissolving biofilm within 48–72 hours. Re-dose every 3–4 weeks for continuous protection.

Reduce Waterborne Disease — Lower Antibiotic Use

Livestock water lines accumulate biofilm that harbours E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter — pathogens associated with production losses, veterinary costs, and antibiotic use. Standard water line cleaning uses chlorine or hydrogen peroxide — requiring downtime, rinsing, and creating chemical stress in animals post-flush. Sanitify continuously manages biofilm in live water systems without chemicals, downtime, or residue risk.

Animal access to clean, pathogen-free water improves feed conversion ratios, daily weight gain, and immunity — particularly in young stock and poultry chicks. Farms using Sanitify water treatment report measurable improvements in animal performance metrics within 4–6 weeks. Reduced waterborne pathogen burden directly correlates with reduced antibiotic treatment events — supporting both animal welfare and antibiotic stewardship goals.

Bacillus in Livestock Drinking Water Systems

Sanitify contains Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis — safety-assessed strains used in EU-approved animal feed probiotic products. In drinking water systems, these bacteria outcompete pathogens for nutrients and produce antimicrobial compounds that directly inhibit E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter. Biofilm dissolution via Bacillus biosurfactants eliminates the reservoir in which these pathogens persist between flushes.

What customers are saying

Our herd's water troughs used to slime up within days. Sanitify keeps them noticeably cleaner between our weekly checks, and the cows seem to drink more readily.
Kristjan O.
We manage water lines across three barns. Since dosing with Sanitify, we've cut our line-flushing frequency significantly.
Anu R.
Cleaner troughs, less scrubbing, and the herd's water intake has been steadier. Simple change, real difference.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sanitify safe for dairy cattle — will it affect milk quality?
Yes — Sanitify contains naturally occurring Bacillus species with no withdrawal period. No residues in milk at recommended water dosing levels. Safe for dairy farms operating under EU milk quality standards.
Can Sanitify be used in poultry drinking lines during production?
Yes — use 5ml per 1,000L in the header tank. For drinker line cleanout between flocks, use 10ml per 1,000L and flush through the entire line system.
Does Sanitify have a withdrawal period for meat production?
No — Sanitify has no withdrawal period. It contains naturally occurring Bacillus bacteria with no chemical residues. Treated animals can go directly to slaughter without any withholding period.
How does Sanitify reduce Salmonella in poultry water systems?
Sanitify Bacillus bacteria outcompete Salmonella for nutrients and produce antimicrobial biosurfactants that disrupt Salmonella biofilm in drinker lines. Studies show >90% reduction in Salmonella counts in treated poultry water systems within 4 weeks.
Is Sanitify compatible with water acidification in poultry houses?
Sanitify is compatible with mild water acidification (pH 4.5–6.5). At very low pH (below 4.0), Bacillus spore germination may be inhibited. Maintain water pH above 4.5 when using Sanitify.
What dose rate should I use for cattle water systems?
Use 5ml of Sanitify per 1,000L in header tanks and main supply lines. For contaminated systems, use 10ml per 1,000L for the first two treatment cycles.
Can Sanitify help reduce antibiotic use on my farm?
Reducing waterborne pathogen burden supports lower antibiotic use. Farms using Sanitify report reduced veterinary treatment events linked to waterborne E. coli and Salmonella — contributing to antibiotic stewardship programmes.
Does Sanitify affect the taste of drinking water for animals?
No — Sanitify is odourless and tasteless at recommended doses. Animal intake rates from Sanitify-treated systems are equal to or greater than untreated controls.
How does Sanitify compare to hydrogen peroxide for water line cleaning?
Sanitify is a continuous biological treatment, not a periodic chemical flush. It maintains low pathogen levels continuously. For established heavily fouled systems, an initial H2O2 flush followed by ongoing Sanitify treatment is an effective combination.
Is Sanitify effective in hard water areas?
Yes — effective across a range of water hardness levels. For very hard water (above 400mg/L), address scale deposits separately before Sanitify treatment.
Can I use Sanitify in a free-range poultry system with outdoor header tanks?
Yes — outdoor header tanks benefit particularly from Sanitify treatment during summer when algae growth is highest. Dose every 2 weeks during summer.
Does Sanitify meet EU livestock water quality standards?
Sanitify reduces pathogen levels to below EU and WHO drinking water quality guidelines. Contains only approved Bacillus strains listed in the EU feed additive register.
Is Sanitify suitable for equine water systems?
Yes — safe for horses at standard dosing levels (5ml per 1,000L). Equine water troughs and automatic drinkers treated with Sanitify show significant reduction in biofilm and algae growth.
How much Sanitify does a 500-sow pig unit need per month?
A 500-sow unit with a 30,000L daily water system uses approximately 150ml of Sanitify per month. A 5L bottle provides approximately 33 treatment cycles at this dose rate.
Where can I order Sanitify for my farm?
Sanitify Water Treatment Drops and the 5L Water Cleaner are available in the online shop. Agricultural and farm accounts receive volume pricing from 5L orders — contact our commercial team.
