Abstract

An effective cleaning and sanitation protocol is important to mitigate disease outbreaks in poultry rearing facilities. This is especially important in cases of salmonellosis where there is a risk of disease transmission to humans. Compressed air foam systems (CAFS) may serve as an alternative carrier for foaming agents to clean and sanitize agricultural surfaces following an outbreak. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a CAFS applied commercial firefighting foam (FF) and chlorine-based foaming cleaner (FC) in floor pen and caged quail rearing facilities with a history of salmonellosis. A firefighting foam concentrate (Phos-Chek WD881) and foaming cleaner (Chlor-A-Foam XL) were diluted in water and applied to floor pen and caged rearing facilities using a compressed air foam system. Total aerobes and cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were quantified pre- and post-treatment using swabs. Both treatments significantly reduced aerobic bacteria in the floor pen and caged quail facilities (P < 0.05). The greatest reduction of 1.74 log₁₀ CFU/mL was reported in the floor pen facility following FC treatment. Microbial ATP levels were also significantly reduced by both the CAFS applied FF and the FC in the floor pen and caged quail facilities (P < 0.05). Treatment of floor pen facilities with the FF resulted in the greatest ATP reduction of 4,201 RLU. These data summarize the efficacy of CAFS applied foaming agents suggesting that a compressed air foam system may serve as a practical method to clean quail rearing facilities.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Poultry Research (JAPR) publishes original research reports, field reports, and reviews on breeding, hatching, health and disease, layer management, meat bird processing and products, meat bird management, microbiology, food safety, nutrition, environment, sanitation, welfare, and economics. As of January 2020, JAPR will become an Open Access journal with no subscription charges, meaning authors who publish here can make their research immediately, permanently, and freely accessible worldwide while retaining copyright to their work. Papers submitted for publication after October 1, 2019 will be published as Open Access papers. The readers of JAPR are in education, extension, industry, and government, including research, teaching, administration, veterinary medicine, management, production, quality assurance, product development, and technical services. Nutritionists, breeder flock supervisors, production managers, microbiologists, laboratory personnel, food safety and sanitation managers, poultry processing managers, feed manufacturers, and egg producers use JAPR to keep up with current applied poultry research.
