Clogging and blockage of water pipes during poultry rearing is one of the serious concerns of poultry farmers, as disruptions in water supply can inflict severe and sometimes irreparable damage to the flock. Additionally, the process of resolving such blockages often leads to stress for birds, which can **negatively affect t
A clean and pathogen-free litter at the beginning of the production cycle can provide optimal growth conditions for broiler flocks. In most cases, wood shavings are used. However, when using wood shavings, how can one disinfect the litter to eliminate pathogens—especially fungi?
In this article, we have explained two different methods for
CIP relies substantially on the action of chemicals on soil; hence, proper selection of cleaning agents is essential. Carbohydrate and protein-based soil is removed by alkalis. Fats and oils are insoluble in water and may protect other underlying soil. Fats are melted by heat and effectively solubilized by alkalis. Polyphosphates emulsify fats and
The historical evolution of light liquid detergents from the late 1940s to the present day reflects significant advancements in chemical formulations and consumer preferences. Initially introduced for dishwashing with primarily non-ionic surfactants, these detergents underwent major changes in formulation to increase foaming and meet consumer deman
The article introduces readers to fogging, a term widely used since the 1920s to describe the process of fumigation or gas delivery for disinfection purposes. It explores various techniques and equipment associated with fogging, including traditional spray machines, warm foggers, and cold foggers. Each method is examined in terms of its efficacy, d
