HYDROGEN PEROXIDE USES IN AGRICULTURE

 

Many different elements and assorted nutrients are required for the continuous construction of all living things. The earth is half oxygen and most of its creatures are composed mostly of that plentiful element

Healthy bodies (animals and humans) are approximately four-fifths water and water is eight-ninths oxygen. Oxygen causes oxidation and oxidation generates heat and energy from whatever fuel it consumes and disposes of its toxins. Society has cut our oxygen producing forests and as the percentage of oxygen in the air declines, it is less able to hold the water vapor necessary to sustain normal cloud cover, rain level and thermal regulation. Hydrogen peroxide consists of two parts hydrogen and two parts oxygen and therefore a good source of extra oxygen in farm operations.

It is extremely important that 35% hydrogen peroxide be handled carefully and should be used in diluted form only! We do not sell it for human consumption

The following information was obtained from various farmers throughout the US or from publications such as Acres USA.

DRINKING WATER OF FARM ANIMALS: Use 16 oz of 35% hydrogen peroxide per 1,000 gallons of water for 35ppm. We have injectors available which will proportion the proper amount into the barn water line. This same ratio is used for all farm animals-cows, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats and rabbits. When used for cattle, increased milk production and butterfat content has been reported with less mastitis in the herds.

Hog farmers report being able to market hogs in a shorter time using less feed. When hydrogen peroxide is metered at 30-35 PPM into the barn water system, the water should stay clean of rust, bacteria, algae and other foreign material and this helps control the spread of disease.

Through this method of water purification, reports indicate that cows and hogs will pass worms and parasite eggs in fecal matter. As long as the feed, iron and other mineral levels are correct, the peroxide will hold oxygen in the blood and cells of the body.

This information is not meant to treat or prescribe, only to share what others claim to have worked for them.

DAIRY BARN: Use as a pipeline rinse for milk stone, depending on the length of the pipeline. As a rule, 2 to 6 ounces of 35% hydrogen peroxide to 15 gallons of water will work with good results. This amount also works for rinsing milk cans and the bulk tank to keep down bacteria as well as milk stone. (Note: If hydrogen peroxide is being injected into the water system a 30ppm, the above ratio may need to be cut in half.)

FOR POWER WASH: In the dairy barn as well as the hog house. In the stabilization process, mix enough peroxide into the water so that a light foaming action comes when spraying the floors and walls. Leave this until the foaming subsides and rinse again. If the foaming action recurs, then the areas which sell foam are not clean. Either raise the peroxide level of the original rinse water or merely re-spray the areas still contaminated with the present amount.
