Abstract

Pigs in breeding on disposal always must have drinking water, and daily amount of water depends on category of pigs and housing conditions. In modern pig production for drinking are used different types of automated drinkers of which primary role is to ensure fresh and healthy acceptable water and to prevent its effusion. However, inside of drinker pipes some bacteria can form biofilm, what helps them to maintain persistent infection and to tolerate the presence of antimicrobials. So in order to prevent hydric infections, for drinker hygiene, are recommended ecologically and healthy acceptable oxidising disinfection compounds which don't leave residues.

Keywords
