Valla Rusthåll (hatching egg production)

OWNER

Alexander Gideskog

LOCATION

Väderstad at Östgöta plain in Sweden

PROFILE

Agriculture that in 1996 was supplemented by two houses with 35,000 places for poultry for the production of breeding eggs (which are to become chickens). In 2017, a house with 17,000 seats was added. 155 hectares of plant cultivation with mainly autumn wheat supplemented by winter oilseed rape, flax and peas. Own straw boiler heats chicken stables, grain dryer and homes. 3 full-time employees.

NEEDS

Own wells cover the farm’s water needs, where the animals consume 15 kbm a day.

SOLUTION

With Anolytech’s solution, the problems with biofilm in the water pipes disappeared. In addition, Anolytech’s AnoDes replaced the chemicals previously used for surface disinfection. The washing and rinsing water today only containing environmentally friendly disinfectant is positive in environmental tests.

Fewer bacteria in the water with Anolytech’s environmentally friendly disinfection

Swedish hatching egg producer Valla Rusthåll had problems with biofilm in the water pipes. Anolytech’s environmentally friendly system for disinfection of water without harmful chemicals solved the problems.

At Valla Rusthåll in Väderstad on the Swedish Östgöta plain, Alexander Gideskog produces breeding eggs that are developed into broilers. The poultry of the farm’s operations was added in 1996, when Alexander’s father Bengt decided to become a hatchery producer and built the first two houses with room for 35,000 animals.
     Poultry are sensitive. Many factors affect both the production and profitability of a hatching egg producer who handles both roosters and chickens.
     – Our payment is based on the number of hatched chickens, so it’s important to have many hatched eggs per hen. The goal is a hatching of 82-83 percent of delivered eggs.
     Wrong quality of a single factor can lower the hatching percentage by a few percent and thus jeopardize profitability. Not least, the quality of the water is an important factor.

 

Clean water provides steerer production 

In connection with the investment in 1997 in a third house with poultry, tje Gideskog family installed Anolytech’s environmentally friendly system for disinfecting water.
     – We have seen fluctuations in the hatching percentage over the years and continuously worked to optimize all parts of production. One of the problems we eliminated together with Anolytech is the biofilm that was previously formed in the water pipes.
     Previously, it was handled with point interventions using harmful chemicals, but Alexander thinks that it works much better with Anolytech’s system that continuously disinfects the water without the use of environmentally unfriendly chemistry.
    – We avoid handling harmful chemicals and can keep the disinfection at an even level, in the same way as we want to keep the hatching percentage constant.

 

Certification builds trustworthiness

As Anolytech started back in 2005, there were many sceptical voices regarding it’s sustainable method for disinfecting water without using harmful chemicals. 16 years later, a commonly increased environmental awareness is paving the way for a game changing shift towards disinfection based on Anolytech’s sustainable solution instead of using traditional chemicals.
     AnoDes is used within different areas where fighting unwanted bacteria like Campylobacter, Cyanobacteria, Escherichia coli and Legionella pneumophila is needed. One important reason is that it’s very effective without being harmful to animals and humans.
     The fact that Anolytech’s technique has been certified according to leading standards regarding hand and surface disinfection, contributes to the increased demand from clients in new markets and segments.

Summary

  • There are great demands to reduce chemical use on companies in the food industry and other industries involving sensitive products and environments. This is a key reason why more and more companies are choosing to collaborate with Anolytech to produce the environmentally friendly pH-optimized hypochlorous acid AnoDes on site.
  • Harmless to people and animals – hypochlorous acid occurs naturally in the immune system in humans and animals. AnoDes is pH-neutral and therefore does not irritate skin and mucous membranes. A normal dose is also non-corrosive.
  • Effective and environmentally friendly–AnoDes is so effective that a low continuous dose is enough to kill bacteria, viruses, spores and fungi. AnoDes is made from water, salt and electricity and contains no toxic residues and can therefore be washed directly into the drain.
  • All-year-round protective barrier – A continuous supply of small doses of AnoDes in the water system acts as a protective barrier if the incoming water were to deteriorate temporarily. AnoDes thus provides preventive protection so that bacterial growth cannot form.
  • Tested and approved–the Anolytech system is today installed on the premises of over 500 customers in various industries. AnoDes meets applicable European standards for disinfect- ants and is approved under Article 95 of the Biocidal Products Directive and by EGTOP for organic farming.
  • Economical – low electricity consumption and salt costs mean low operating costs for on-site production of AnoDes. In addition, the Anolytech system reduces consumption of packaging and the need for environmentally-hazardous transport.
  • Performance Warranty – Anolytech provides a performance warranty on the production of AnoDes, so that you as a customer can feel confident that your system will work properly throughout the rental period.
