The benefits for broiler producers include disease prevention by reducing the presence of infection-causing pathogens, mortality reduction by lowering exposure to pathogens, improved performance due to a cleaner environment that reduces stress and infection risk, and food safety by helping to control Salmonella spp. and deliver Salmonella-free poultry meat.
- Salmonella elimination from week 12 to end of rearing period and prevalence reduction by up to ≥ 95% during production period on barn surfaces and 67% reduction on carcasses at pre-chilling stage.
- Complete elimination of Enterococcus spp. from surfaces, reducing the presence of infection-causing pathogens.
- Up to 20% reduction in mortality, with statistically significant improvements.
- Body weight gain increased by up to 19g per chicken per cycle, enhancing production efficiency.
CID LINES, An Ecolab Company, collaborated with researchers from the University of Georgia's Department of Poultry Science to conduct a comprehensive commercial trial within a poultry integrator in the United States. The trial aimed to assess the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection measures, along with drinking water disinfection, in controlling Salmonella prevalence in poultry production.
CID LINES, An Ecolab Company, partnered with Vetworks, a Belgium veterinary services company, to conduct comparative field trials on four broiler farms. The study aimed to evaluate the Avi Prime program, a comprehensive barn and water hygiene program. This program includes the cleaning and disinfection of broiler farms and drinking water systems during the sanitary stop, comparing it to current practices on commercial broiler farms.
