Usage of CLEAN·REFRE

CLEAN·REFRE has good cleaning and sterilizing effects yet is safe for humans, animals, and nature. The characteristics of CLEAN·REFRE are remarkable and are indispensable for the future business development of ACT Corp. What can we do with this CLEAN·REFRE? I think you also come up with various ideas.
On this site, we will introduce some of the devices that we have devised and have already put into practical use that utilize CLEAN·REFRE.

Hoof cleaning and sanitization is important

Hoof disease is said to be one of the three major causes of economic loss in dairy farming. As the dairy stall system shifts from stanchion to free, preparing for hoof disease has become more important for dairy farmers. Hoof disease does not kill many animals at once, so it does not cause a great deal of public turmoil. However, the loss due to the disease is not negligible.

Dairy cows with hoof disease cannot get enough food and water and become ill, resulting in decreased amount and quality of milk. And at the same time, their fetal days get longer, and their reproductive performances get poor. Shimizu^* reported that hoof disease causes daily milk loss of 95 kg per 100 milking cows in eastern Hokkaido.

Tokachi NOSAI website writes about the loss due to hoof disease as follows:

British researchers have declared that the economic loss per case of hoof disease is $ 627 for sole ulcers (about 67,000 yen), $ 257 for white belt disease, and $ 128 (about 13,800 yen) for interdigital fregmone or toe dermatitis. In Tokachi NOSAI(Mutual Aid Association ), about 100 cattle (0.5% of the total) were disused, and 6,585 cattle (5% of the total) got sick or injured due to hoof disease last year.

The Research & Development Center For Dairy Farming also reports why you should not underestimate hoof disease:

In our herd management survey, limb hoof disease was the second most common outbreak disease after mastitis. Isn't it disregarded as "just a hoof disease"? Is the financial loss overlooked because it is invisible? If the hoof disease is left untreated, inflammation may spread to the joints and interdigital fat globules in the hoof sheath and may be disused.

Hoof disease continues to do significant damage to dairy farmersapos; incomes. To prevent hoof disease, you should improve the barn environment, feed good food, reduce stress on cattle, regularly cut hoofs, and check their condition.

The most important thing is to keep the hoofs clean. However, cleaning the hoof tubs used at many farms and replacing disinfectant water neutralized by dirt is a heavy burden for dairy farmers. In addition, there is a concern that chemicals such as copper sulfate (5-10%) in the disinfectant water may cause environmental pollution and poisoning accidents. Thus, the farmers must take great care in handling the water and may not want to use chemicals if it is possible.

ACT Hoof Care System

We have developed a new device that automatically cleans hoofs by installing it in the living area of cattle. By using a type of NaCl-free hypochlorous acid water (product name "CLEAN·REFRE") as the cleaning solution for the device, we have completed a system that solves all the hoof disease problems.

We can offer several device types designed for their location. And by combining several different spraying methods for each type, it becomes a system suitable for various dairy farms. We can install the devices in milking areas, feeding areas, and aisles where cows pass daily. The devices have properly placed nozzles that are ready to spray a proper amount of pre-made CLEAN·REFRE. Then, when the built-in sensors detect an approaching cow, the devices clean and sterilize the hoofs with CLEAN·REFRE.

When the device detects a cow, it sprays CLEAN·REFRE on the hoofs.

Customer opinion

A Rancher in Memuro Town
It is a hit! I haven't had any hoof disease since I started using it! Cattle farmers will make money if they get rid of hoof disease and mastitis. It's nice to be able to combine them freely. It's essential not to use disinfectants and pollute the environment.

Let's clean the livestock barn

Is the barn comfortable and safe for your precious livestock?

ACT livestock barn sanitization system

By introducing a device that sprays CLEAN·REFRE, the air in and around the barn and the surface of walls, floors, feeding boxes, etc. can be automatically kept sterilized throughout the year, reducing the incidence of infectious diseases. You can use this easy-to-maintain device also to prevent the barn from drying out. Even on cold winter mornings, you don't have to worry about the freezing of cleaning fluids. As a measure against the heat of summer, you can clean and cool the air by spraying CLEAN·REFRE. There are already a number of test and research reports on the spatial spraying of hypochlorous acid water. Comprehensively interpreting them, proper spraying of CLEAN·REFRE has a great effect of sterilizing pathogens floating in the air or adhering to the surface of objects around the sprayed area and is effective in preventing diseases of livestock.

CLEAN·REFRE sterilizes the entire barn and livestock skin.

Spraying CLEAN·REFRE in the barn is also effective as a measure against the heat of summer. ACT's original technology cleans the entire barn without damaging the environment or the livestock body!
