OXYDOL, Treatment of Swine
Oxidation Ponds
OXYDOL
Is a product composed of enzymes,
beneficial bacteria and organic catalysts for
odor control, break down of organic matter in
waste waters (oxidation ponds) and to
provide the animal with probiotics and
enzymes, to improve its intestinal integrity.
OXYDOL, Treatment of Swine
Oxidation Ponds.
OXYDOL
OXYDOL, is a biosafe alternative that
achieves environmental conditions required
by environmental programs in swine farms.
Its application in oxidation ponds to improve
the environment , as well as in animal
drinking water, to improve the productivity
indexes of conversion and mortality, reduces
significantly the use of medicaments.
OXYDOL, Treatment of Swine
Oxidation Ponds.
OBJETIVE
Sanitization and regeneration in swine improves
the efficiency and environmental health of
inhabitants in the area, controling the levels of
ammonia, methane and hydrogen sulphide,
returning to the environment the natural physicochemical conditions of the waters in the
oxidation ponds.

PREPARATION
1 kg of Oxydol is mixed with 39 liters of destilled
water to produce 40 liters of Oxydol Liquid
Concentrate.

EVALUATIONS
• Levels of Ammonia in ppms.
• Evaluation of Intestinal Integrity..
• Inspection and revision of physical quality of environment.
• Consultation with specialized personnel in the environment
• Physico-chemical Laboratory Analysis.
OXYDOL, Treatment of Swine
Oxidation Pond.
CONCLUSIONS
•During the bioremediation process of the oxidation pond, the
decresed in odors was very significant after the first month.
•The rapid break down of organic matter , decreased in ammonia,
methane and hydrogen sulfide incidence.
•The clarity and cleanliness of the water was 95% completed by the
third month of treatment with OXYDOL.
•The physicochemical characteristics of the water comply with the
norms established by the local laws and the environmental
regulations.
OXYDOL, Treatment of Swine
Oxidation Pond.
CONCLUSIONS
•
The consumption of OXYDOL in the drinking water, significantly
improved the intestinal swine conditions, reflecting in better
productive parameters of the farm.
•
The decrease in ammonia levels in the farm had a direct effect
in reduction of respiratory problems of piglets.
•
The use of OXYDOL demonstrated to be a rapid and safe tool
for biorenmediation in the oxidation pond, recuparating waters
and making them suitable for use of other productive activities.
