Summer Is Here

Summer has officially arrived and with it has come the hot dry weather. Here in the Southeast we have not had significant rain to help relieve us from this brutal heat. Multiple problems will start arriving that you need to be mindful of. Checking your ventilation equipment should be top on your priority list. You will want to make sure all fans are working properly, thermostats are calibrated, and cool cell pads are clean. Cool Cells can quickly become dirty or clogged especially if not properly maintained. If you are running well water over your pads be careful too, as the summer continues and rainfall stays away, wells will get lower and this could mean more minerals(clay, calcium, iron, etc) in your water. Constantly be checking your water quality and make sure to keep a good cleaner circulating onto your pads. PronTech Poultry is perfect for this application. 1 jar per house to start off with and then just 4-5 scoops once a week to help prevent algae growth and to help keep your pads nice and clean. If you have any questions please email us at info@upitrading.com.

Environmental Control:Foot Dip Pans

PronTech is your best choice for foot dip pans. It has been proven that using foot dip pans is an excellent way to help prevent the spread of outside diseases from entering inside your facilities. Dry Bleach Powder is a common practice but it has its limitations. When exposed to sun it loses its potency, not to mention it does not penetrate the crevices of your tread to reach the hard to reach areas where potential threats could be lurking. Liquid foot baths are much more efficient. PronTech has the ability to work in a wide range of environmental conditions. PronTech is active in cold and hot weather as well as in the presence of organic matter. That makes it the ideal product to use for foot baths. Not only is it effective in those conditions it is also environmental friendly. 99% biodegradable, PronTech is not going to harm your land and can be easily disposed. By using quat test strips you can always make sure you are maintaining your desired ppm(parts per million rate of disinfection). With Bird Flu bio-security measures being put into place be sure to consider PronTech when thinking about your foot bath dip pans.
