There is an extensive list of water treatment products that need to be registered and it is necessary to analyze the indication of use in the context of animal production to ensure that it complies with the specific legislation:

1. Coagulants: Aluminum sulphate, ferric chloride, organic polymers, etc.
2. Flocculants: Polyacrylamide acid, inorganic polymers, etc.
3. Disinfectants: Chlorine, ozone, ultraviolet radiation, etc.
4. pH correctors: Caustic soda, sulphuric acid, etc.

Registration guarantees that products marketed in Brazil meet the quality and safety requirements established by legislation, protecting animal health and contributing to sustainable development. Through registration, MAPA evaluates:

• Effectiveness: Does the product really fulfill its intended function?
• Safety: Does the product pose no risk to human health or the environment?
• Quality: Is the product manufactured in accordance with good manufacturing practices?

Registered products undergo assessments to check that they pose no risk to human or animal health. This prevents the contamination of water with toxic or dangerous substances, which can be harmful to the entire animal production chain. Water treated with registered products is safer for consumption, reducing the risk of water-borne diseases such as coccidiosis, salmonellosis and swine dysentery, among others. Registration assesses the environmental impact of products, ensuring that they do not cause damage to aquatic ecosystems. Registration encourages innovation and the development of new, more efficient and safer products.

The registration process has a considerable degree of complexity, involving the submission of a series of documents, including product data, such as composition, method of use and type of packaging, manufacturer data, test results and trials demonstrating the product's efficiency and safety, and last but not least, labeling with relevant product information and precautions.

Having your product registered brings several benefits, such as the possibility of marketing throughout the country and expanding your business, it brings credibility so that your product and your reputation are strengthened in the market, it demonstrates a commitment to quality and safety, it helps protect the intellectual property of formulas and manufacturing processes, and it can also facilitate the process of exporting to other countries, since it meets international quality standards.
