Assessment of Drinking Water Quality and New Disinfectants for Water Treatment in a Small Commercial Poultry Farm

Research Abstract

The bactericidal efficiency of Virco-santy disinfectant is 0.0% against all bacterial isolates. The sensitivity pattern of pathogenic bacteria to H2O2 disinfectant is 100% at a concentration of 5.0 % within 60 min contact time. In addition, the pathogenic bacteria (E. coli, S. garoli, S. kentucky, K. pneumonia, and Shigella spp.) are highly sensitive to Klorsept 25 disinfectant (100%) at a concentration of 2.0 mg/l after 180 min of exposure. Moreover, the sensitivity of E. coli and S. kentucky to Ca (Ocl)2 is 100% at a concentration of 0.5 mg/l and exposure time 120 min.
