Brenntag joins forces with UK university for new project

Writtle University College (WUC) in Essex, UK, has started a new project with Brenntag.

The research work will investigate the impact sanitised water can have on animal health, using Brenntag’s proprietary chlorine dioxide technology Clorious, specifically designed to facilitate the dosage.

WUC lecturer Nick Lynn said: “We are delighted to have the support of Brenntag for this joint project that will allow us to validate the effect of Brenntag’s unique water sanitation system on pig health and welfare.

“Not only is this an important learning opportunity for our students, our findings will have implications for the sector as a whole. We are already assessing the scope to extend the research to further trials, and are delighted to have Brenntag support in this regard.”

Patrick McTurk, business development manager of Brenntag UK & Ireland, added: “Water is the single biggest nutrient to livestock. Consequently, clean and safe drinking water is one of the key ingredients for animal health, development and wellbeing. Water treatment is a particular focus for Brenntag, and we are delighted for WCU to be facilitating the trial at their live farm site”.
