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?
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
