Hydrogen Peroxide H2O2 (Part I)

Summary

D.C.Hettiarachchi - Sri Lanka I quite agree with Dr. Summers to use as high as a concentration of about 250 ppm of hydrogen peroxide in poultry drinking water. If the water to be disinfected is organic free, 30ppm could be enough to kill almost all the microorganism but as drinker lines accumulate more and more biofilms with the time, 30ppm will be too little to effectively kill all the germs.
