Livestock Drinking Water Treatment
Remove biofilm from waterlines, stop the slime and algae reseeding your water, and protect intake and performance across poultry, dairy, cattle, and swine.
Selectrocide generates ultra-pure chlorine dioxide on-site from a sealed pouch. No generator, bulk chemical mixing, or complicated equipment.
The Problem With Chlorine
Chlorine dioxide is a different molecule. It's compatible with more materials, safer to handle, and controls biofilm where bleach and chlorine can't.
Chlorine Loses Strength as pH Climbs
At pH 8.0 it holds only 20 to 30 percent of its disinfecting strength.
Costs More to Treat
Farmers have to greatly increase the dose just to keep up, and it still can't break through biofilm.
Corrosive to Equipment
Bleach and acids wear down pumps, fittings, and lines over time, driving up maintenance costs.
A Different Molecule
Chlorine dioxide doesn't lose strength as water chemistry (pH) shifts.
Penetrates Biofilm
Chlorine dioxide cuts through slime and stays effective in the presence of organic matter.
Non-Corrosive, No Residue
Chlorine dioxide breaks down cleanly. Gentle on pumps, fittings, and lines.
How to Use Selectrocide®
Selectrocide generates in water from a sealed pouch. No generator to install, no chemicals to mix, no hazmat to handle.
Sealed, pre-measured pouch. No mixing required.
Generated directly in water at a precise concentration.
Dilute the solution to your target concentration.

Livestock Water Treatment Dosing Guide
Selectrocide treats the water, strips biofilm already built up in the lines, and keeps new buildup from taking hold.
💧Waterline Dosing & Treatment
- Municipal water: typically under 1 ppm
- Well water: typically 1–2 ppm depending on load
- Test at the drinker, not only at the dosing point
- Adjust the program to the actual water source and system
Exact dosing varies by water source, organic load, and system type. Water testing is recommended before establishing a final protocol.
Proven Results on Working Farms
Farms running Selectrocide® continuously see it show up in four places: healthier animals with less antibiotic use, better feed conversion, higher water intake, and lower mortality.
Reducing Prototheca Biofilms
Chlorine dioxide broke down Prototheca biofilm in flush water where standard sanitizers had failed, cutting contamination at the source. Positive samples and mastitis cases dropped together as the biofilm cleared.
Rosedale Colony Dairy
A nine-week trial introducing Selectrocide into the drinking water line lifted daily milk production and eliminated a chronic calf scours problem entirely. Mastitis treatment and digital dermatitis cases dropped alongside it.
NC Broiler Farm
Shock treatment followed by continuous low-dose Selectrocide through a Dosatron system cleared water lines and held coliform bacteria at zero. Flocks came out heavier as a result.
Built for Every Livestock Water System
Dosing the drinking water, works the same way whether you're running broilers, a dairy herd, or finishing hogs.
Poultry drinking water treatment, covering waterline shock, continuous dosing, and hatchery sanitation for broilers, layers, and turkeys.
Cattle drinking water treatment and dairy farm water treatment, covering trough cleanup, parlor hygiene, and calf housing for beef and dairy herds.
Swine drinking water treatment, covering nipple line cleaning for farrowing, nursery, and finishing barns.
