Effectiveness of Some Disinfectants Commonly Used in footbaths inside Poultry Farms
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 9
Abstract
Footbath is a very simple form of biosecurity that helps preventing the potential spread of disease. Three experimental studies were conducted to evaluate and compare the bactericidal effectiveness of five commercial disinfectants (CleanZix®, Zix-Virox®, Synergize®, GroundZero® and Halamid®) in liquid and semi-liquid form after one minute contact time ,Besides, comparing the capacity of liquid and semi-liquid foot baths to withstand and remain effective along the study duration for three successive days challenged daily against 12 cm2 contaminated rubber shoes with poultry deep litter. After one-minute contact time, all the disinfectants were not effective in reducing the bacterial load of the contaminated shoes. Otherwise, the Chloramine-T disinfectant (Halamid®) in its first day of use (liquid form) showed the highest log reduction 4.17. the semi-liquid bath achieved 100% bacterial reduction and showed no viable bacteria along the whole experiment days., the semiliquid foot baths need much time to act correctly as it was more condensed, but this did not lessen its powerful and efficient capacity to remain clean for 3 successive days than the liquid baths.
