Sanitation, Cleaning, and Disinfecting Poultry Facilities

Published: June 25, 2008
Summary
Diseases and infections have always been a major concern to the poultry industry. Fortunately, microbial contamination can be prevented and controlled using proper management practices and modern health products. Microorganisms are everywhere! Some are relatively harmless, while others can cause disease. Some pose a lethal threat to one species of animal while remaining harmless to another sp...

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.

The use of “quats” as cationic detergents is better than we counting on as disinfectant, They are not effective against non-enveloped viruses or mycobacteria and are considered sporostatic but not sporocidal. They have limited effect against Gram-negative bacteria and Pseudomonas. They are pH sensitive, more active at neutral to slightly alkaline pH but lose their activity at pH less than 3.5. QACs are in general, easily inactivated by organic matter, detergents, soaps and hard water (this may vary with the “generation”). QACs are toxic to fish and should not be discharged into water sources(i.e., streams, ponds, lakes). I believed that compound with mixed disinfectants (like gluteraldehyde,formaldehyde with “quats”) is better than single disinfectant Dr. Tarek El sonousy, Egypt

Do we need to rotate our disinfectant? Or is the bacteria and virus able to develop resistance against the continuous use of disinfectant?
