Why clean drinking water is so important

Animals need fresh, clean drinking water every day – but pipes, waterers, and containers are often breeding grounds for germs, biofilms, algae, and fungi . These can lead to diarrhea, infections, loss of appetite, and chronic health problems.

With AnoKath® TW you offer your animals microbiologically safe drinking water – completely natural, without chemicals and without residues .

 

Drinking water disinfection for animals. Whether horses, dogs, cats, rodents, or farm animals like cattle , pigs, sheep, or goats, hygienically clean water ultimately benefits the health of all animals. Water drawn from the tap begins to germinate after just a few hours. This natural process contaminates water in bowls, water bottles, and drinking troughs with bacteria, algae, and fungi soon after filling. Warm temperatures further accelerate this process, causing the water to become contaminated with pathogens even faster and more intensely. Even changing the water daily therefore does not offer reliable protection. This is because drinking water is usually also contaminated with leftover food and excrement. If animals consume such contaminated water, their vitality is very likely to suffer. Drinking water disinfection counteracts illnesses caused by germ-laden water.

Clean water in pasture troughs – drinking water disinfection for animals

On pastures, livestock need drinking troughs or barrels to be watered, which can hold up to 1000 liters. These also pose a particularly high risk of the water becoming stagnant and spoiling. Over time, a biofilm forms in the barrels, composed of algae, bacteria, and fungi . Simply rinsing is therefore insufficient to remove this film. Instead, it requires extensive scrubbing with a strong cleaner containing aggressive ingredients to eliminate the biofilm. Using AnoKath® TW Drinking Water Disinfectant for Animals is considerably easier. This disinfectant for water troughs not only reduces germs but also prevents the formation of biofilms on surfaces. If a biofilm has already formed, it will gradually break down.

FAQs

Drinking water disinfection for animals – clean drinking water with AnoKath

Why is drinking water disinfection important for animals?

Animals often drink from systems that can quickly become unhygienic in everyday use: waterers, buckets, pipes, tanks. Biofilm , deposits, and bacterial contamination easily form there – often without being immediately visible. Clean drinking water supports appetite, well-being, and a stable barn routine.
AnoKath advantage: With AnoKath, you turn "occasional cleaning" into consistent drinking water hygiene .

How can I tell if drinking troughs or pipes are hygienically problematic?

Typical signs include odor , slimy deposits, cloudy water, algae, clogged valves/nipple drinkers, or a slippery film in buckets and hoses. Often, not only the water is affected, but the entire system (tank → pipe → drinker).
AnoKath advantage: AnoKath helps you to systematically reduce these burdens – not just in isolated instances.

What is the biggest mistake in drinking water disinfection for animals?

The most common mistake is simply "adding something to the water" without consistently removing biofilm and deposits from tanks, hoses, and drinking troughs. This leads to recurring problems.
AnoKath advantage: AnoKath works best as part of a clear process: cleanse, stabilize system, then maintain routine.

What would be a sensible procedure for watering troughs, pipes, and tanks?

A practical procedure:

  • Clean the watering troughs/buckets (remove any build-up, don't forget the edges)
  • Consider pipes/hoses/tanks as a unit (that's where the biofilm is often located)
  • Systematically treat hygienically and allow the water to flow through.
  • Then establish a fixed maintenance routine (instead of "only when it smells")

AnoKath advantage: AnoKath makes this process suitable for everyday use because you get a clear system logic that you can easily implement in a team.

For which animal species is drinking water disinfection particularly relevant?

This applies to all animals that are supplied with water from drinking troughs/pipes – especially if several animals are drinking or the water is standing for a longer period of time:

  • Horses (buckets, water troughs, pipes, pasture waterers)
  • Dogs/Cats (bowls, drinking fountain, travel/kennel environment)
  • Poultry/Pigeons (drinking troughs, piping systems, collection systems)
  • Livestock (nipple drinkers, piping networks, tanks)

AnoKath advantage: AnoKath is ideal if you are looking for a system that works across different animal husbandry systems.

How can I best integrate AnoKath for drinking water disinfection in animals?

The approach is most effective when you make AnoKath an integral part of your water hygiene routine:

  • Clean hotspots regularly (e.g., weekly): drinking troughs, filters, watering points.
  • More intensive depending on the event: after periods of inactivity, heat waves, algae blooms, changes in stock.
  • For larger systems: Dosing solution/standard process to ensure consistent hygiene.

AnoKath advantage: You get drinking water hygiene that doesn't fail due to lack of motivation – but runs reliably as a routine.
