Daily sanitization
Cleaning the lines out is just one part of the solution, Watkins said. After the
system is cleaned, it should be flushed with a sanitizer to prevent the
reappearance of microbes in the water supply. Sanitizers should also be added
to the system daily to control microbes in the system.
Any sanitizer must be safe for the birds to consume and used in the proper
amount. Moreover, it should be compatible with water, easy to use, easy to
monitor and cost-effective for the farm.
Chlorine
Watkins said she prefers chlorine because of its low cost and effectiveness.
However, it is not a perfect sanitizer.Daily sanitization
