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.

Washing Fertilized Eggs

Washing fertilized eggs has been a no no within the poultry industry for years. Common thought within the industry was that exposing an egg to water could contaminate the egg. Not only was this a concern so was the thought that if you used the wrong product to wash the egg you could clog the pores of the egg. Eggs need to breath and preventing this could cause damage to the embryo. With PronTech you no longer have to fear either of these scenarios. PronTech cleans and sanitizes the egg shell while not leaving behind any build up or thick film. Clean eggs mean a clean hatchery. That means you have less egg explosions in your setters, you have less disease outbreaks due to contamination from the farm, and more of your fertile eggs get to be placed in your setters. Using PronTech to treat your eggs is a your smart and safe choice.

Possible Future Bird Flu Outbreak

This fall is going to have everyone within the Poultry industry on edge. The possible spread of the highly pathogenic virus has already done damage to industry this year. With wild water fowl migrating south everyone will be watching to see if the US has another outbreak. The USDA is doing everything they possibly can to prepare. Below is a link discussing how the USDA is preparing for this fall and the threat of a future outbreak.

Bio-Security: Bird Flu

With this fall's wild bird migration south the scare of the Bird Flu returning is very likely. That means you need to do your best to protect yourself with proper bio-security measures.

Fogging

Fogging is an excellent way to control the bacteria count in a room.  Hatcheries use fogging as part of their daily sanitation, but fogging is not just for hatchery use.  Fogging is a great way to disinfect rooms, barns, or just about any enclosed environment.  With PronTech you can feel safe and secure when using it as a fogging agent.  Because PronTech reduces the surface tension of the water when added to it helps it to be an excellent fogging agent.  PronTech will hold in the air longer because it is a smaller molecule.  This lets it penetrate microscopic areas as well as travel through the whole room before falling to the ground.  PronTech has been proven to remain in suspension longer than most other brands without the need to add a fogging agent.  Also, PronTech is not an oxidizer, therefore it will not be harmful or corrosive to your equipment. One other property of PronTech that makes it a better choice over many competing brands is that it does not leave behind any sticky residue.  So, the next time you need disinfect a room, house, or animal facility consider fogging and consider using PronTech.


 

Drinker Line Cleaning

Drinker lines are the mains sources of water for chickens or swine while in grow out houses.  These lines have the ability to transport clean fresh water to the animals, but they also have the ability to transport bacteria, or fungus to them.  Water lines build up bio-film.  This bio-film is the perfect place for bacteria and fungus to live.  There have also been studies that show viruses live within this bio-film.  To make sure to have a clean water source it is common practice to flush in a cleaner to try and remove any build up.  The key is to make sure you are using a cleaner that is doing the best job possible.  PronTech's patented formulation gives it the ability to chemically bond with the bio-film to emulsify it and remove the build up.  After removing the build up PronTech can then kill any pathogen present.  Look below at the handout to see how well PronTech performed against other drinker line cleaners that are much more corrosive and dangerous.
