Description
Credence – controlling water quality and farm biosecurity
Water: the forgotten source of bacteria and pathogens on your farm. Bore holes and roof water collection are a major issue.
Stock water: No 1 nutrient for animals, yet also a key source of pathogens — from protozoa and viruses to toxic blue-green algae and bacteria that Credence is effective against.
House feed water tanks: these are typically contaminated with salmonella, Coliforms (E.Coli), Enterococci, Aeromonas, Cryptosporidia, Giardia and Legionella. Remember Havelock North water contamination?
Indication:
Credence is the ideal solution for treating stock and household drinking water, cleaning livestock housing, sheds and facilities including feeding equipment. Simply add to stock dams, water troughs and directly into water holding tanks.
Features:
Credence 1000 is an excellent water sanitiser and disinfectant, it is very cost effective and safe for humans and animals. Water is the number one nutrient for all animals and having clean, safe water is essential to production, performance and health.
Credence is a water-soluble effervescent tablet containing the active ingredient sodium troclosene (NaDCC). When dissolved in water a powerful disinfectant solution is formed by the release of free available chlorine.
Credence is proven to be effective against the following water-borne pathogens, which manifest themselves in slow growth, poor performance, sickness and death:
• Salmonella sp. • Escherichia coli • Campylobacter jejuni • Shigella sonnei • Yersinia enterocolitica
• Faecal coliforms • Pseudomonas aeruginosa • Clostridium sp. • Giardia lambia cysts
• Aspergillus sp. • Cladosporium sp. • Avian Influenza Virus
Major benefits:
- Practical and easy to handle.
- Safe to use and transport.
- Easy to evaluate in-use dosages.
- Wide-spectrum and validated to be effective against viruses, bacteria, mycobacteria, spores and fungi.
- For use in all livestock production systems, stables, kennels, markets, holding pens and veterinary clinics.
- Lowers the pH of drinking water ensuring compatibility with feed acidifiers and gut conditioners such as Salkil, Bact-a-cid and Prefect.
Active Ingredients: Each tablet contains 8.68g Troclosene Sodium & Adipic acid.
Dosage: When dissolved in water, it subsequently releases 5g of free available chlorine, which in turn is sufficient to treat up to 1000 litres of drinking water.
Disinfecting rates: 1 Credence tablet to 15 litres of water, spray and leave to air dry
Water troughs, household and shed tanks: 1 Credence tablet per 1000 litres of water
Dams: 1 Credence tablet per 100 litres of water. To measure, each cubic meter stepped out = 1000 litres
