Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Disinfectants

Abstract

The disinfection process in poultry farming is the most important direction in the control of pathogens of infectious diseases. Currently, many farms carry out disinfection based on standard rules: manure transportation, dirty washing, clean washing, disinfection, fumigation. This study was conducted in order to determine whether disinfectants for poultry houses of poultry farming are effective for reducing bacteria, viruses and fungi. Poultry houses for breeding were selected for field tests. The disinfectants evaluated were chloride, glutaraldehyde and formalin. In order to determine the total number of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, as well as the number of yeast and mold fungi, samples were inoculated into the nutrient medium. The tests were mainly carried out to determine E.coli, Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. As a result of research conducted at the ”Saba" poultry farming, a significant decrease in the number of microorganisms was observed. The results show that the percentage and type of disinfectants may vary depending on the type, degree of application, duration of storage and the strength of the effect of organic substances on common aerobic bacteria.
