Control of airborne microbes in a poultry setting using Dioxy MP 14

In this study, Dioxy MP 14, a locally developed form of chlorine dioxide, was tested in a commercial chicken pen to determine its effectiveness as an airborne environmental sanitizing agent. The biocide was introduced via an overhead misting system with a variable dosing pump. The extent of airborne microbial control was determined with settle plates. Performance and mortality rate of the chickens in the experimental pen was compared to that in the control pen. Results show a decrease in airborne microbial load and a significantly higher egg productivity rate at a 5% level in the treated pen. However, no significant difference in mortality rates between the two pens was observed.本研究中，我们对本地研发的二氧化氯制剂Dioxy MP 14展开商用蛋鸡舍测试，以明确其作为空气环境消毒剂的消杀效能。该杀生物剂通过搭载可调式计量泵的顶部雾化系统进行投加。采用沉降平板法评估空气微生物的防控效果。将试验组鸡舍内蛋鸡的生产性能与死亡率，与对照组鸡舍开展对比分析。结果表明，处理组鸡舍的空气微生物载量有所降低，且在5%显著性水平下，产蛋率较对照组显著提升。但两组鸡舍的蛋鸡死亡率未呈现显著差异。
