Agricultural & Livestock
Sanitization in Utah
USDA Certified Organic HOCl sanitization for farms, livestock operations, and agricultural facilities throughout Utah. No withdrawal periods, no harsh chemical residue, no risk to your animals, your crops, or your organic certification.
Why HOCl for Agriculture?
- No withdrawal periods for animals
- USDA Organic #Z-699995-2008
- Safe for use in occupied livestock facilities
- Biodegrades to salt water — no soil impact
- No respiratory hazard in confined spaces
- EPA Registered #97801-1
The Disease and Contamination Risks Utah Agricultural Operations Face
A single disease outbreak in a livestock facility can mean mandatory depopulation, federal quarantine, and financial losses that take years to recover from. Conventional disinfectants create their own set of problems for agricultural operations.
-
!
Avian Influenza moves fast and hits hard. HPAI (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza) has caused the depopulation of tens of millions of birds across the U.S. in recent years. Biosecurity and facility disinfection are the primary tools available to poultry operations — and they must work.
-
!
Conventional disinfectants require withdrawal periods. Bleach, formaldehyde-based products, and quaternary ammonium compounds require animals to be removed and facilities to be ventilated before restocking. This creates production gaps and animal handling stress that HOCl eliminates.
-
!
Barn mold and humidity are year-round threats in Utah. Confined livestock facilities — particularly during winter — develop mold and fungal growth on walls, bedding, and feed storage surfaces that compromise animal respiratory health and feed quality.
-
!
Organic certification means your sanitization inputs matter. If your operation holds USDA Organic certification — or is pursuing it — your sanitization program must use organic-approved inputs. Most conventional agricultural disinfectants are not compatible with NOP guidelines.
HOCl — Built for Agricultural Reality
HOCl is the same antimicrobial molecule your animals' immune systems produce. It works with agricultural environments in ways conventional chemicals cannot.
Agricultural Operations We Serve
HOCl adapts to the full range of Utah farming and livestock environments
Poultry Houses
Avian influenza biosecurity demands consistent, effective facility disinfection between flocks and during active monitoring periods. HOCl provides EPA-registered antimicrobial coverage with no residue that affects birds or egg production, and no fumes that cause respiratory stress in confined houses.
Livestock Barns & Facilities
Cattle, hog, sheep, and goat operations contend with barn mold, respiratory pathogen buildup, and contaminated bedding and flooring. HOCl treats facility surfaces, walls, and equipment without requiring animal removal or extended ventilation — minimizing production disruption.
Dairy Operations
Dairy facilities require sanitizers compatible with milking equipment, food contact surfaces, and the animals themselves. HOCl is food contact safe, no-rinse on equipment surfaces, and leaves no chemical taste or odor that could affect milk quality or trigger herd stress.
Greenhouse Operations
Greenhouses face persistent fungal and bacterial pressure on plants, growing media, irrigation systems, and surfaces. HOCl is safe for use around plants and beneficial insects, and biodegrades to salt water with no soil or crop residue concerns.
Feed Storage & Equipment
Mycotoxin-producing molds in feed storage areas are a direct animal health threat. HOCl treats bins, storage containers, and processing equipment without leaving chemical residues that could contaminate feed or cause palatability issues in treated areas.
Veterinary Facilities
Large animal veterinary clinics and equine facilities need hospital-grade disinfection that is safe for recovering animals. HOCl's non-toxic, no-residue profile makes it suitable for treatment areas, examination rooms, and recovery stalls where chemical exposure is a concern.
What HOCl Addresses in Agricultural Settings
Pathogen coverage and operational advantages specific to farming and livestock operations
Animal Disease Threats
-
Avian Influenza (HPAI/LPAI) — primary biosecurity threat to Utah poultry operations
-
Newcastle Disease — highly contagious poultry virus with severe production impact
-
Salmonella — poultry and livestock transmission vector, food safety risk
-
E. coli O157 — cattle operations and environmental contamination
-
Mastitis pathogens — Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus in dairy operations
Fungal & Environmental Threats
-
Barn mold — Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium species in confined livestock facilities
-
Feed mycotoxins — aflatoxin and deoxynivalenol contamination in stored grain and feed
-
Crop fungal diseases — Botrytis, Alternaria, and post-harvest decay organisms
-
Water system biofilm — microbial contamination in irrigation and water delivery systems
-
Greenhouse pathogens — Powdery mildew, Pythium, Phytophthora in hydroponic systems
Operational Advantages
-
No withdrawal periods — animals do not need to be removed before or after treatment
-
Safe in confined spaces — no toxic fumes, no respiratory hazard for workers or animals
-
No soil contamination — biodegrades to harmless salt water, no environmental burden
-
Organic certification compatible — USDA Certified Organic, NOP compliant inputs
-
No antimicrobial resistance — oxidative kill mechanism, pathogens cannot adapt
-
Equipment compatible — no corrosion concern with stainless steel, rubber, or plastics at use concentration
HOCl & Your Organic Certification
For operations holding or pursuing USDA Organic certification, the sanitization inputs you use in your operation are subject to National Organic Program (NOP) requirements. Most conventional agricultural disinfectants are not NOP compliant. HOCl is.
USDA Certified Organic #Z-699995-2008
OHS HOCl holds USDA Organic certification issued by Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (OTCO). This makes it a compliant sanitization input for certified organic livestock and crop operations under NOP guidelines — without threatening your certification status.
No Residue Impact on Organic Products
HOCl biodegrades to simple salt water after application. There is no chemical residue on treated surfaces, crops, equipment, or in the environment — eliminating any concern about organic product adulteration from sanitization inputs.
Replace Non-Compliant Products
If your current disinfection program uses bleach, QACs, or other conventional agricultural sanitizers that are not NOP listed, HOCl provides a compliant replacement without sacrificing efficacy. One product, both EPA registration and USDA Organic certification.
