Brief Project Summary:

This project contains two major objectives. First, it evaluates the “soft” disinfectants Shield Plus and Neutral Electrolyzed Water in the destruction and/or reduction of viral pathogens in experimental broiler chickens and egg-laying hens. Then, it determines effective work dilutions to use in live poultry and management practices in poultry farms and processing plants. Results show that the Shield Plus soft disinfectant is effective to inactivate of kill avian enteric viruses and respiratory viruses in less than 5 to 15 minutes, protecting flock health.
