Animal welfare and stable hygiene

The prevention and elimination of pathogens is also of paramount importance in animal husbandry. Plasma applications can help to reduce the need for medicines and generally ensure hygienic husbandry conditions even without the intensive use of disinfectants. Germs can be removed by plasma filters from the stable air, e.g. from calf and pig stalls, and also from the water, e.g. from aquaculture systems, and not only captured in filters, but also actually inactivated. Direct plasma treatments and the use of plasma-treated air or plasma-treated water can also be used to disinfect surfaces, e.g. again for the stables themselves or for equipment such as milking harnesses. Preventive measures, such as hoof care for hoofed animals, e.g. to prevent thrush using plasma-treated water, can also be easily implemented. In addition, germ prevention and reduction is also important for chemical-free disinfection of meat substitute products.
