2 Germs are costly Bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microorganisms are everywhere. They often constitute a major problem at enterprises that work with animals as they spread disease and cause general ill health; in addition they weaken the immune system in healthy animals and divert strength and energy away from the animals growth and development. Bacteria cost money in the form of lower production and non-realised income, expensive chemical treatments, more antibiotics, environmental impact and an unhealthy working environment for staff. Low germ levels translate into lower costs, higher profits and a better environment

3 Bacteria are everywhere Industrialised livestock rearing is more commonly known as Factory Farming. When numerous animals are raised together in limited space, this provides the perfect setting for bacteria, spoors, mould, fungi and viruses to grow. The animals can cope with these microorganisms in natural surroundings, but in an industrialised setting, rapidly spreading bacteria and viruses will inevitably have a negative impact on the animals growth and result in higher levels of illness and mortality. Today, the principal approach to combating this risk involves the use of chemicals and antibiotics. Unfortunately, this approach is not sustainable in the long term. The layout of the stalls including the walls, floor and ceiling features almost perfect conditions for microorganisms to thrive and multiply. However, pipe systems and drinking water installations always contain a residual layer of biofilm that has been built up by microorganisms, and even when cleaning is performed regularly and thoroughly, this biofilm quickly returns. Our bodies contain a natural defence against bacteria and microorganisms. It uses what is known as hypochlorous acid (HClO), which is produced by our white blood cells. Hypochlorous acid has a proven effect in combating bacteria, viruses, spoors and fungi. The acid attacks and destroys the protein in the microorganism. It has also proved effective against multiresistant bacteria.

4 We have a unique solution: Anolytech Disinfection System As our aim is to turn the use of disinfectant agents in a safe and eco-friendly direction, we have developed Anolytech Disinfection System, which is the result of many years of development and use in a variety of different enterprises. Anolytech Disinfection System uses only water, salt and electricity to produce Anolyte-PC. Thanks to Anolytech Process Control with advanced phcontrol, Anolyte-PC features a high content of nature s own disinfectant hypochlorous acid (HOCl) which is highly effective against all bacteria and viruses that spread infection. As a bi product in the process of producing Anolyte-PC, a sodium based detergent called Catholyte-PC is also produced. Catholyte-PC is very effective in solving proteins and fat. Since hypochlorous acid is already produced and used by our white blood cells to kill microorganisms, it has no effect on animals or staff. In addition to the reduced risks in the working environment, hypochlorous acid is also approved by EU* as an environmentally safe product, and the fact that it is biodegradable is something both we and the environment benefits from. The Anolyte-PC is automatically and continuously distributed to multiple areas of use in the production setup at the same time. Both distribution and dosing are simple to program with full control of all applications in the drinking water, for fogging, for cleaning pens, for high-pressure hoses, for hoof and wound care, and much more besides. * EU Commission Regulation (EC) No 1048/2005

5 Anolytech Process Control Anolytech Process Control 6 7 ph värde Hypochlorous (HOCl) Chlorine (Cl 2 ) Hypochlorite (Ocl-) Activity (%) Risk of corrosion Activity loss ph What makes Anolytech unique on the market is that we have developed an exact and well-functioning control of the process, which we have named Anolytech Process Control. Hypochlorous acid is classed as fresh goods, wich means that Anolyte-PC is prepared on site where it is to be used. The syntetic production of hypochlorous acid is performed by electrolysing a cooking salt solution. The highest content of hypochlorous acid is achieved when the solution maintains a neutral ph level of between 6 and 7. Anolytech uses a refined system in which the ph levels are controlled with great accuracy. This guarantees a continuously high content of hypochlorous acid while simultaneously ensuring that the volume of salt in the solution is kept low (to minimise corrosion). A high level of hypochlorous acid also ensures low content of less desirable chlorine compounds. You can use the Anolytech system even when the animals still are in their stables. From the very start, the system has been developed for use in settings where animals are present. We have extensive experience in this field, so you can feel safe when installing an Anolytech system at your enterprise.

6 How to use Anolytech Disinfection System Drinking water When you add Anolyte-PC to drinking water, you can be sure that the resulting water will contain a minimum of harmful bacteria, viruses, spoors and mould fungi, and that your drinking water system is free from biofilm. Process water By dosing Anolyte PCtm in the process water, for example in high pressure cleaners and hoses, you get a disinfecting effect in all cleaning without having to rinse away excess chemicals. This means time saving and safer working environment for your staff. You can also feel safe that no harmful chemicals are left behind after disinfection. Fogging Fogging with Anolyte-PC is very effective. In addition to keeping dust levels down and generally disinfecting the premises, it lowers contagion of airborn diseases such as pneumonia. Anolyte- PC significantly improves the air quality for animals and staff due to its ability to decompose ammonia. It s ideal for use in hatcheries and egg storage rooms, and eliminates the use of many hazardous chemicals, like formaldehyde. Feed, air, equipment and surfaces Scrubbing/Cleaning/Disinfection Use Catholyte-PC for scrubbing and cleaning milking installations and feed tanks, for tray washing and for other kinds of cleaning. Versatility Anolyte PCtm is ideal for cleaning wounds as it effectively remove bacteria without stinging. It can also be used for the disinfection of personal equipment such as footwear and clothes, for washing hands, etc. For each area of activity we have special applications which you can find more information about in our segment sheets.

7 Hypochlorous acid, nature s own disinfectant Efficiently, economical and environmentally-friendly Economical Anolyte-PC is inexpensive to produce. Low energy consumption combined with the low cost of salt produce operating costs of around 0,001 per litre of concentrate or 1 per 1000 litres. This means that you always have plenty of effective, cheap and ecofriendly disinfectant and detergent readily available. In livestock farming a reduced bacterial pressure improves growth, lower the feed ratio and results in healthier animals, which in turn provides a better profitability of your production. Environmentally friendly When the hypochlorous acid has been used, the solution decomposes into its component parts, where 99,5% is water and the remaining 0,5% is biodegradable. For this reason, you can pour Anolyte-PC straight into the drain without concern. On account of its eco-friendly components, you can also use Anolyte-PC as an effective disinfectant in sensitive environments such as organic production systems, food production systems and the like. Laboratory test of the anti-bacterial effect of Anolyte Studies* show that none of the microorganisms listed below can survive a 10% concentration of Anolyte.

Approval Anolyte-PC has been approved by the EU for the disinfection of drinking water, for use in veterinary medicine and in food processing. Anolyte-PC can also be used in organic food production, and there are no limits on drain disposal. EU Commission Regulation (EC) No 1048/2005 Bra Kemråd/Svensk Mjölk* CAS EG
