Or: Why clean drinking water makes the difference between victory and defeat

The health, vitality and performance of Carrier pigeons depend on many factors, from high-quality feeding and optimal training to a careful breeding strategy. However, one aspect that is often underestimated is the Quality of the drinking water.

Clean water is the basis of all metabolic processes. However, dangers lurk in polluted water: Bacteria such as E. coli or salmonella as well as protozoa such as trichomonads are triggers of diseases or, in the best case, "only" cause loss of shape. This is exactly where BergerPIGEONS WaterControl an innovative product that is consistently Drinking water hygiene and thus to the Health of racing pigeons is aimed at.

HOCl: The natural answer to germs

WaterControl relies on Hypochlorous acid (HOCl)a substance that the body produces itself as a defence against pathogens. HOCl penetrates germs, destroys cell membranes and cell components and kills bacteria, viruses, fungi and yeasts directly, quickly, reliably and without residue, unlike acid products, which only inhibit growth. After use, nothing remains except water and salt.

In contrast to many other products, HOCl is not only highly effective, but at the same time Gentle on pigeons, material-friendly and neutral in flavour. This ensures that racing pigeons enjoy drinking water in sufficient quantities, a decisive advantage, especially in the hot season when hydration is essential for health and performance. WaterControl thus combines a Strong effect in drinking water hygiene with High acceptance by the animals. In comparison, acid preparations are based on organic acids: although they can reduce the infection pressure, pigeons are often reluctant to drink them. WaterControl offers the decisive difference: strong effect without compromise, for healthy and successful pigeons.

Ecalit process - The difference to competitor products

Many HOCl solutions quickly lose stability and have to be dosed at high levels. This is where WaterControl comes in with the Ecalit process on: It guarantees a particularly pure and stable form of HOCl. This makes the difference in practice: lower dosage, high efficacy and maximum safety.

The science behind WaterControl: Hypochlorous acid (HOCl)

HOCl is an endogenous substance that the immune system of humans and animals also uses to fight off pathogens.

• Manufacture: BergerPIGEONS WaterControl is electrochemically activated using the ECALIT® process with water, salt and electricity. The result: a highly effective, residue-free disinfectant with a shelf life of up to two years.
• Effect: HOCl penetrates germs, destroys cell components and kills bacteria, viruses, fungi and yeasts directly, in contrast to acid products, which only inhibit growth.
• Compatibility: As HOCl occurs naturally in the body, it is particularly gentle and safe for pigeons.

The invisible enemy: Biofilm in drinking vessels

A core problem in pigeon breeding is the Biofilm, a slimy coating in drinking troughs and drinking vessels that protects pathogens and can promote antibiotic resistance.

WaterControl dissolves and destroys biofilm sustainably. It therefore not only eliminates superficial germs, but also their source. This reduces the risk of recurring infections and contributes to long-term Health of racing pigeons with.

Application and dosage: Practical for everyday use by breeders

Practical examples:

• Maintenance hygiene: daily to prevent disease transmission.
• Intensive hygienisation: after races, in the case of new arrivals or acute bacterial contamination.
• Cleaning: Targeted against biofilm in drinking troughs, pipes and containers.

Quality standards:

• DIN EN 901 tested: fulfils the strictest standards for human drinking water.
• Environmentally friendly: Decomposes into water and salt - no residues, no toxicity.

Conclusion: Foundation for healthy and high-performance racing pigeons

BergerPIGEONS WaterControl is due to its properties a Strategic tool for the breeder:

• ensure drinking water hygiene in the long term,
• prevent infections,
• to sustainably break down biofilm,
• and increase the performance of the pigeon population.

With WaterControl provides you with a solution that combines modern science and practical suitability for everyday use. Thanks to HOCl in the Ecalit process chains of infection are reliably interrupted, without side-effects, without the desire to drink, without residues.

Whoever wants to protect their pigeons Reduce infection pressure and the Health in the blow permanently, thanks to the special Ecalit process in WaterControl is the ideal solution.
