This outbreak may not be big but it has caused three countries Russia, Japan, and China to stop importing chicken from Arkansas.  The economic impact of these countries not importing meat will have a major effect on Arkansas's economy.  This is why having top notch bio-security has become essential.  As an industry we must make sure to take all the proper steps to ensure all facilities are properly managed.  This means washing and disinfecting farms on a regular basis as well as controlling who visits these farms.  PronTech is designed to control bacteria, virus, and fungus pathogens.  By using PronTech farmers and companies can feel secure that they are protecting their investments from harmful outbreaks.  PronTech is a non oxidizer allowing it to be used directly on equipment without worrying about corrosion.  So, the next time you sell birds and clean your houses out, make sure to wash down your houses to prevent further outbreaks like these from happening.

This is the direction that the poultry industry is headed.  There are popular trends of growing all organic and all natural birds because eventually there will be to many regulations which will prevent the use of antibiotics.  This video explains just one of the issues that have been found from the over exposure of antibiotics in the poultry industry.

The Heat Is Among Us Are You Ready

With the the summer heat fully on us you want to make sure you are ready for what looks to be a hot summer.  PronTech is the ideal solution to cool cell pad cleaning.  With its patented formulation PronTech is able to remove sediment, help prevent future buildup, and prevents algae growth.  PronTech works through emulsification and penetration instead of oxidation which is why PronTech should be your first choice to use when you are cleaning your cool cell pads.

Below are pictures of PronTech in action. Scroll down to see how PronTech takes dried pads and begins to flow through them after being added to the circulation tank.  Remember after circulating PronTech over your pads you will need to flush out your trough.  You do not want the sediment that has been broken loose to recirculate back through.  Good Luck this summer!!

Dry pads before PronTech has been added.

If you look closely you can see the sediment buildup.

After just 15 minutes of circulation PronTech is starting to work.

Look at how well PronTech has covered the cool cell pads.

Now time to rinse, flush out the trough, and you are ready for the summer heat.
