Background
Zanca Turkey Farm, dedicated to high-quality turkey production, was facing common yet critical challenges in intensive poultry farming:
High risk of disease
Heavy antibiotic use
Significant mortality rates
Biofilm contamination in water systems
To improve animal welfare and operational efficiency, the farm adopted oxygen nanobubble technology—a transformative step that delivered measurable benefits in both health and profitability.
The Solution: Oxygen Nanobubble Technology
The farm implemented a nanobubble water treatment system, enabling:
Applications
Disinfection:
Oxygen nanobubbles achieved 100% removal of pathogens from drinking water.
Biofilm Elimination:
Complete removal of biofilm from the entire water pipeline system.
Water Quality Enhancement:
Increased oxygen saturation improved hydration and metabolism in birds.
