Low-Concentration Hypochlorous Acid Drinking Water Alleviates Broiler Gut Microbial Load While Preserving Overall Growth Performance

MDPI

Summary

Abstract

The measure of reducing antibiotic usage in food animal production has proven to significantly decrease antibiotic resistance in both animals and humans [1]. Consequently, sustainable alternative strategies and approaches to the healthy and efficient production of food animals in the post-antibiotic era are becoming increasingly imperative [2]. Meanwhile, current biosecurity management practices and technologies in food animal production are expected to encounter greater challenges and more stringent requirements

Reading this responsibly

Published figures are obtained under controlled conditions, usually on clean surfaces or in defined matrices. Organic load, surface condition, temperature and application coverage all affect real-world performance. Use these numbers to design a protocol, then validate it on your own site with environmental swabbing.

Applying it

Concentrations in this range are within the adjustable output of every EcoloxTech commercial system, so implementing this protocol is a settings question rather than a procurement one. Where the claim needs to sit on a registered label, see HOCl-AS200, EPA Reg. No. 101112-1.
