At Medvešček Farm, a family-run pig farm with over 30 years of experience and up to 1,100 hogs per cycle, the challenge was clear: improve animal health and productivity while reducing reliance on chemicals and cutting operational costs. The solution came in the form of Waboost's Wacognis Fauna 10—a nanobubble and ozone-based water disinfection system designed to radically improve water quality and animal performance.

The Challenge

Water quality is often an overlooked yet critical component of livestock farming. At Medvešček Farm, issues such as biofilm buildup, pathogen contamination, and residual chemicals from chlorine treatments were causing:

• Increased infections and stress in animals

• Reduced feed efficiency

• Longer production cycles

• Elevated maintenance costs due to biofilm and filtration demands

Traditional chlorine-based disinfectants proved ineffective and harmful over time, prompting the farm to seek an alternative that was both effective and safe for animals.

The Solution

Following a detailed water audit and microbiological testing, Waboost recommended installing the Wacognis Ultra Fine Bubble Generator with embedded ozone disinfection. This system offers:

• Chemical-free water disinfection

• Ozone nanobubbles for deep penetration and oxidation

• No residuals – ozone naturally breaks down into oxygen

• Easy integration into existing farm infrastructure

Installation:

• Completed in 1 day

• Included water tank setup, plumbing, mechanical integration, and IoT system installation

Water Uses:

• Animal drinking water

• Pen and equipment washing

• Sterilization

• Safe drinking water for farm staff

Key Benefits

Animal Performance

• Faster growth – shortened production cycle by 21 days

• Improved feed efficiency (FCR) – 10% less feed required

• Better health – fewer infections, improved well-being

Water System Efficiency

• Complete biofilm and pathogen removal from drinking lines

• Zero chemical use – no chlorine, no biological agents

• Higher dissolved oxygen levels, boosting hydration and metabolic efficiency

Sustainability & Cost Savings

• Reduced need for filtration and chemical treatments

• Lower maintenance costs

• Environmentally friendly and safe for animals and workers

Farmer Testimonial

Now into his 4th production cycle using Waboost technology, the farmer reports consistent, exceptional outcomes and greater ease of farm management:

“With Waboost, we’ve achieved faster growth, reduced feed costs, and healthier animals—all without chemicals. It’s changed the way we farm.”

Conclusion

The Waboost nanobubble water treatment system helped Medvešček Farm modernize operations, boost animal performance, and reduce costs—all while eliminating harmful chemical usage. This case highlights the power of advanced water disinfection technology in making pig farming more efficient, ethical, and sustainable.
