reduction (99,9999% inactivation) of FMD virus present in contaminated water. • Performance in organic conditions – maintained efficacy despite heavy organic load, consistent with real-world shared trough scenarios. • Safety and acceptability – treated water remained palatable for livestock and safe for both animals and handlers. Strengthening existing biosecurity measures Water sanitation is not intended to replace established biosecurity practices, but rather to enhance them. A preventative biosecurity strategy benefits from consistent water hygiene as an additional protective layer that reduces the likelihood of disease transmission before outbreaks occur. When outbreaks do arise, pre-treated water sources may also reduce the speed at which infection spreads between animals, providing valuable time for containment efforts. In South Africa’s grazing systems and areas where water sources are shared, a single contaminated point can expose multiple herds simultaneously. Introducing an oxidative barrier directly at the drinking point helps address a transmission pathway that conventional biosecurity measures may not fully control.
