Case Study
Healthier Pigs and Lower Costs with Nanobubble Water Treatment at Medvešček Farm
Ljubljana Province, Slovenia
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
