PROAQUA NC

Pro Aqua NC® is used to acidify drinking water in order to maintain good hygienic quality. PROAQUA NC contains of a unique synergistic blend of organic acids (SCFA’s and possibility combination with copper and zinc) . It has also been demonstrated by research that blends of acids are more efficacious than single acids. The organic acids reduce water and stomach pH and inhibit the growth of pathogen microbes (bacteria and fungi). This also may result in an antibacterial effect throughout the gastro-intestinal tract. The ability to apply acids through water during feed withdrawal periods is especially important during pre-slaughter, when the animals’ susceptibility to infection with bacterial pathogens may increase.

​

​PRO AQUA NC is non corrosive bufferend (sodium/ammonia) which offers users the safety in handling but also ph will be lowered to a level inhibiting pathogenic bacteria in water without causing harm to the animal or reducing water or feed intake. Buffered unique blend of acids will assure that water PH will not fall below 3.5 which might stop water intake by the animals. PH value just below 4 is optimal in inhibiting pathogenic gram negative  bacteria. Non buffered acids may reach lower PH values which requires extra attention in dosing. At the same time non buffered acids will be absorbed in the stomach and will not reach the intestine.
