Our Technologies
Acepsis®, LLC is focused on the use of chlorine dioxide technologies as a primary step within a total hygiene program.
Safe across the range of required hygiene applications:
Chlorine dioxide is considered one of the most powerful oxidizing agents available, but more importantly it can be used safely across the wide range of animal agriculture applications:
- Water hygiene treatment
- Facility hygiene treatment
- Animal hygiene treatment
The Physical Characteristics:
Chlorine dioxide is a powerful oxidizing agent commonly used in animal agriculture hygiene and water quality management programs. Chlorine dioxide is a gas, that when created, is more soluble and much more efficient in water than chlorine / sodium hypochlorite. Chlorine dioxide does not hydrolyze (break apart) in water like hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite.
Ecologically Friendly:
Unlike chlorine / sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide does not react with naturally occurring organic materials, that form trihalomethanes (THMs) and bromates. Chlorine dioxide aids in reducing the formation of total trihalomethanes (TTHMs – are disinfection byproducts that form when chlorine compounds that are used to disinfect water react with other naturally occurring chemicals in the water.). Acepsis chlorine dioxide formulations have been approved for use by NSF International and Organic Certifiers.
Mastitis is still the #1 herd health problem our industry faces. Facility management, pre- and post milking routines and the choice of udder health products all have an influence on your results.
The Acepsis® NOVA™ SMART Milking Hygiene System provides a breakthrough technology combination of concentrated Precursor formulas, combined with a patented production system. The NOVA™ SMART System puts a dairy farm, and its Milk Quality Team, in complete control.
NOVA™ Prep provides rapid and superior cleaning performance that makes it perfect for lower concentration, pre-milking hygiene applications. The NOVA™ Post formulation has the ability to provide a low drip, post-milking formulation, with the optimal Protection.
Water is considered the most essential nutrient for livestock production, and is needed in numerous processes, such as regulation of body temperature, growth, digestion, reproduction, and physical health.
Water quality plays a critical role in supporting livestock operations. Water quality may be altered by contaminants such as, mineral salts, toxins, heavy metals, organic load, debris, and agricultural practices. Water systems and troughs can also accumulate organic material and surface buildup over time, which may affect palatability, intake, and overall water-system performance. Routine monitoring, maintenance, and cleaning practices help support consistent water quality across the operation.
Acepsis water treatment technologies are designed to support controlled water quality management and system maintenance. AquaSoar™ includes concentrated precursors that are use in structured water-management programs. When used according to applicable instructions, the system helps manage water-system buildup and supports consistent application, monitoring, and operational control.
Looking clean is no longer an adequate facility hygiene practice. Optimal hygiene requires clearly defined procedures that help reduce cross-contamination risks and improve cleaning consistency.
Developed and formulated to support facility hygiene and cleaning practices, the Acepsis HabiStat™ technologies ensure the proper facility environment, key to the health of the animals. Optimal hygiene requires clearly defined procedures that help reduce cross-contamination risks and improve cleaning consistency.
Let us show you how the Acepsis technologies aid in developing your “Best Facility Hygiene Practices”:
- Development of a facility-specific program to match your needs.
- Identifying and addressing cleaning and hygiene practices and procedures.
- Monitoring facility “animal wellness” results, documenting facility morbidity and mortality levels.
Maintaining a high hygienic standard is one of today’s most important livestock health objectives. Hygiene levels directly influence animal management outcomes and production performance. Whether your goal is improved weight gain or higher milk quality, animal wellness starts with good hygiene practices. Keeping your animals healthy is a top priority. The best way to achieve this is through routine, preventive hygiene practices.
More importantly though, it’s not only our animals that matter, it’s also about the health of our employees, and the consumers that eat our products. It is therefore critically important to ensure that high-quality products are produced from healthy animals under good hygienic conditions and that control measures are applied to protect human health.
Ensuring proper clean and well-maintained conditions are not only good practices for animal treatment in animal production. Best hygiene practices refer to strategies and management practices that improve animal performance.
On a farm, attention to hygiene is the most important measure to reduce and prevent the introduction of contamination risks and operational challenges. Best hygiene practices also minimize the spread of contamination risks and operational challenges within and outside a farm system.
The following is a list of available best practices:
- Employee Hygiene
- Equipment Hygiene
- Vehicle and Transport Hygiene
- Facility Hygiene
