Introduction
Cleanliness and sanitation take up a noteworthy part in any
compelling disease/ malady control program for poultry farms. Poultry premises
and structures ought to conform to the prerequisites for isolation from soiling
and strict observance of standards of cleanliness and disease prevention (e.g.
restrictions on movement of staff, equipment and vehicles). A poultry site must
be arranged systematically for the passage of each new bunch (removing birds,
litter, and manure, droppings, and vector and rat control; dry and wet
cleaning; sterilization; fumigation). Consideration ought to be paid to the
terminal sanitation of houses and hardware after eradication (physical and
synthetic cleaning, weight washing, purification, fumigation). Specific
consideration ought to be practiced in the execution of clean techniques especially
after a disease episode.
Requirement of Poultry
Disinfectant
Poultry Disinfection is crucial
in order to prevent Marek’s disease, Mycoplasmal infections, respiratory
viruses, E.coli, pest infestations, and other poultry health hazards. Even more
important is the control of Salmonella
Enteritidis (SE) which can colonize in a chicken’s intestinal tract without
necessarily causing obvious disease in the chicken itself. This may lead to the
invasion on other tissues and eventually finding its way into the reproductive
tract and ovary, contaminating the egg itself which is a consumable item. Conditions
in poultry sheds might be unhygienic, permitting the multiplication of
illnesses, for example, Salmonella, E. coli and Campylobacter. An efficient disinfecting program with an
economical poultry disinfectant is important in every poultry bio-security
program. The time of disinfection must be after emptying the old chickens and
entry of the new ones. The whole point of disinfection and sanitation is to
lessen the microbial populaces which show a danger to the flock. Cleaning and
disinfection include the removal debris and the reduction or elimination of
pathogenic organisms in or on materials, so that these no longer present a
health hazard.
Poultry Disinfectant
Cleanliness and sanitation play a
noteworthy part in any successful disease control program for poultry
production premises. The most common types of poultry disinfectants include
Halogens, Alcohols, Oxidizers, Phenols, Aldehydes, QACs.
A poultry disinfectant destroys
pathogens, and sterilizes the same. A broader spectrum of disinfection includes
the usage of pesticides for eliminating disease spreading vectors,
decontamination, and sanitation of contaminated surfaces.
Ideally, a poultry disinfectant should be:
Ideally, a poultry disinfectant should be:
- Multifunctional for sanitizing both water channels and surfaces
- Fast Acting with a short contact time
- Good material compatibility
- Low toxicity for the feed water and the animals
- Hassle free application
