Water Line Disinfection

Terminal disinfection of water lines can strengthen your biosecurity program and reduce cross-contamination between flocks.

Prevention of Diseases

A contaminated water supply is one of the fastest pathways for introducing disease pathogens into a poultry house. However, clean water is of little value if it is delivered to the birds through a water line system that contains pathogens lodged within biofilms and layers of mineral deposits.

Water lines are an ideal environment for biofilm formation, and disinfectants applied directly to poultry drinking water are ineffective in penetrating and removing biofilms once they have formed. A study published in  BMC microbiology suggested that about two-thirds of the water lines in broiler facilities may be contaminated with biofilm.

The Difference Sterilex

The combination of Sterilex Ultra Disinfectant Cleaner Solution with Sterilex Ultra Activator Solution is tailor-made for cleaning, disinfecting and removing biofilm in water lines.

EPA Registration

Proven to kill pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli and Campylobacter, and inactivate viruses such as avian influenza, Newcastle disease virus, PRRS and PEDv.

Biofilm removal

The only product on the market authorized to remove non-public health related biofilms in animal drinking water lines, tanks, pumps, dispensers, pipes and hoses.

Non-Flammable

Low risk associated with storage and transportation.

Compatible with Equipment

Compatible with materials commonly used in water line systems and prevents clogging of pipes and nipple troughs with routine use.

Reduce Waste

Removes organic matter, mucilage (slimy layer) and scale associated with biofilm, and eliminates resistant organisms present in water lines.

Within Reach

Cost efficient and effective.

Higher Yield + Better Bird Health

One of the best ways to prevent disease and optimize performance in your poultry operation is to make sure your water supply is clean and water lines are in good condition. Feed and water consumption are strongly correlated, and water consumption can be an indicator of the health and performance of the flock. Water quality also has a direct impact on biosecurity.
