Supporting Poultry Biosecurity Through Effective Sanitation

Avian influenza remains one of the most significant biosecurity challenges facing poultry producers around the world.

While no single product can prevent disease outbreaks, maintaining high standards of sanitation and environmental hygiene is a critical component of any effective biosecurity programme.

DX50 Chlorine Dioxide provides a versatile sanitation solution that supports cleaner water systems, cleaner facilities, and stronger biosecurity practices throughout poultry operations.

Where DX50 Supports Poultry Hygiene

Drinking Water Sanitation

Helps maintain cleaner drinking water systems and supports ongoing water hygiene management.

Water Trough Hygiene

Assists in reducing organic contamination and maintaining cleaner drinking environments.

Hatchery Sanitation

Supports sanitation programmes for hatchery equipment, water systems, surfaces, and infrastructure.

Surface & Equipment Sanitising

Suitable for incorporation into routine cleaning and sanitation procedures across poultry operations.

Biofilm Management

Chlorine dioxide is recognised for its ability to penetrate and disrupt biofilm, helping improve sanitation effectiveness throughout water delivery systems. It is 2.46x more effective than Chlorine with no taste or odour after treatment.

Environmental Hygiene Programmes

Can be used as part of comprehensive farm biosecurity and hygiene protocols.

C104 - Egg wash sanitiser

What Does The Science Say?

Scientific research has demonstrated that chlorine dioxide possesses broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and can effectively inactivate avian influenza viruses under controlled laboratory conditions.

Researchers evaluating chlorine dioxide against Avian Influenza A (H7N9) concluded that chlorine dioxide solutions and chlorine dioxide gas were effective at virus inactivation and may have practical applications in environmental decontamination and disinfection programmes.

Additional studies investigating highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) have demonstrated reductions in airborne and surface-associated virus following exposure to chlorine dioxide, highlighting its potential role as part of integrated poultry biosecurity strategies.

These findings support the use of chlorine dioxide technologies as valuable tools for sanitation, environmental hygiene, and risk-reduction programmes within poultry production systems.
