Abstract
The efficacy of ClO2 gas, as surface disinfectant at around 1,000 ppb against avian orthoavulaviruses type 1 (AOAV-1), infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), Escherichia coli (EC), and Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) was evaluated at the required level (≥99.9% reduction) on various surfaces. Exposing the surfaces to ClO2 gas for 1 hr reduced AOAV-1, except for rayon sheets which required 3 hr. However, 1 hr of exposure did not effectively reduced IBV titer. In the case of EC, glass plates and plastic carriers needed 1 hr of exposure, while rayon sheets required 2 hr. SE on rayon sheets required 1 hr exposure, but on the other tested surfaces showed inadequate reduction. Overall, ClO2 gas is an effective disinfectant for poultry farms.
