“Cleaning and disinfection have always been important for optimum hatchery performance. Effective cleaning and disinfection must prevent biofilm from establishing by removing all organic and inorganic residues, foreign bodies and micro-organisms, from surfaces” – Aline Kuntze Ferreira, Incubation Specialist, Aviagen
Even
the best hatcheries experience pathogenic activity as conditions in poultry
sheds turn unhygienic, permitting the multiplication of illnesses, such as
Salmonella, E. coli and Campylobacter, which have a direct effect on the health
and food standards. Post mortems of first week mortalities or winnows regularly
bring about separation of the above species and others from conditions, for
example, omphalitis/yolk sac contamination and excited/tainted hawk joints. An
efficient disinfecting program is important in every poultry bio-security
program. The time of disinfection must be after de-populating/ emptying
the old chickens and entry of the new ones, going by the “all in all out” scheme. The main purpose of the disinfection
program still is the reduction of the number of pathogens. Reducing the
pathogen numbers decrease the chances of disease occurrence.
Major Areas
of Concern
Egg,
Setter & Hatcher Interiors, Hallways, Washing Rooms, Trays, Boxes and
Baskets, Bird Processing and Holding Areas, Laboratory and Vaccination
Equipment, Ventilation System Components such as Ducts, Plenums, Inlets,
Outlets, Filters, Air Handling Units, Water Plumbing, Humidification System and
Logistic Trucks.
What
determines a healthy hatchery?
·
Minimum drug use, such as antibiotics
within the hatchery
·
Good biosecurity program to reduce
contamination levels
·
Application of best feasible procedures,
detergents, disinfectants
·
Routine monitoring keeping microbial load
in check
Formulating
a disinfectant for use in hatcheries or poultries is not an easy task, requires
heavy expertise on synthesizing the complete process. The disinfection has to
be performed without harming the birds and or feed. The existence of
contaminants depends upon several factors like soil, air, surrounding
conditions etc.
It
has been studied by global experts that about a considerable amount of poultry
birds were affected in the last decade due to pathogenically occurring diseases,
resulting in rising poultry products crisis and cost.
Proper
concern and priority are needed to be given to this sector and one of the best
ways to prevent the occurrences of such damages is to use suitable
non-toxic disinfectant to eradicate pathogens, contributing to the healthy
growth of the birds.
Cleanliness
and sanitization play a noteworthy part in any successful disease control
program for poultry production premises.
•
Dry Cleaning with scraping and brushing
of litters from ceilings, fans, floors, etc.
•
Followed by wet cleaning, done in three
parts:
o
Soaking the heavily soiled areas
thoroughly
o
Washing of the surfaces with a neutral or
slightly alkaline detergent
o
Rinsing with water immediately afterwards
•
Air drying with a blower following the
rinsing with water.
•
Repairing of all faulty structures before
disinfection
Silver Hydrogen Peroxide for Poultry Disinfectant finds a wide usage in:
·
Aerial fumigation to sanitize concerned
territories of poultry sheds, breeding areas, incubator tanks, and more
·
Drinking water treatment by mixing silver
hydrogen peroxide at recommended concentration
·
Surface disinfection by spraying
disinfectant over the targeted areas
Silver
Hydrogen Peroxide proves advantageous in the following ways:
•
Environment-friendly
nature
•
Non-toxic,
colourless, odourless nature
•
Broad
spectrum with multifunctional applications
•
Cold
Sterilant with No rinse – No wipe solution post application
•
Hassle
free usage with no toxic residues
•
Microorganisms
cannot build up resistance
Hydrogen
Peroxide accelerated with Silver Ions, manifests excellent anti-bacterial,
anti-fungal properties and effectively eradicates harmful weeds and microorganism
from the soil and also prevents further reproduction of those parasites as the
silver present in the compound alters the DNA structure of those microorganism,
inhibiting any kind of further reproduction. The areas in the poultry sheds
where disinfectants can be of great utilization are Terminal shed, Chick
breeding area, Incubator tank, Egg storage tank, Hatchery table, Storage area,
etc.
Chemtex
Speciality Limited formulates Silver Hydrogen Peroxide under the trade name of Alstasan
Silvox to be used as a multi-purpose, highly effective disinfectant for
use in various applications such as food processing, dairy, agro, fisheries,
RO, hatchery, potable water and other process industries. Alstasan Silvox
can be used as air fumigator for air borne germs, water sanitizer for water-based
contaminants and surface disinfector for various hard foreign masses. Its no-rinse;
no-neutralization property makes it easily usable. Eco-friendly water and
oxygen residues make this biocide safe for animals safeguarding them against
poultry diseases. The disinfection program must be carried out by depopulating
the poultry bird to some other safe place.
