Re: Article - Sanitation, Cleaning, and Disinfecting Poultry Facilities

Cleaning, sanitation and disinfection are critical to the normal functioning of the poultry enterprise.
I would like to add the controlled growth of a set of organisms you require. We use various live bacterial and viral vaccines. We also use live protozoa like Eimeria. What are we doing here? We are growing a set of organisms.
We use organic acids in feed, water and use acidifiers to keep the Ph level around 4.0. What are we doing here? We are cultivating a set of organisms we require which we would like to outnumber than the pathogenic organisms.
With the change of seasons a new set of organisms start to establish in the poultry environment. It thrives in that particular temperature, humidity and particulate matter.
So terminal disinfection and normal sanitation and disinfection in the presence of birds is the art of a good flock manager.
This art has to be mastered to get the best results out of a flock and to achieve the target productions with the best quality and profitability.
