Key Points

Chlorine dioxide may provide an effective alternative to acidification and chlorination for drinking water disinfection in dairy beef bulls fed high-concentrate diets.
Across 224 days of evaluation, 24 Holstein bulls received chemical disinfection treatments to monitor water quality, intake, and apparent total tract digestibility.
Highlights alternative drinking water disinfection to circumvent pH limits and potentially carcinogenic by-products from chlorination during high-concentrate diet feeding.
