Comparison of Different Methods of Disinfection of Chicken Feed (Pellets, UV, Formalin) Supplementation of Organic Acids (Propionic Acid, Acetic Acid, and Linoleic Acid) And Their Effect on Reducing Microbial Count

Abstract

Today, food pathogens have a significant effect on changing the conversion ratio. Given that today's poultry industry has a significant share in the economy and nutrition, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of various feed disinfectants. The issue of disinfection is different from the issue of food on which the disinfection process is performed and used in the transfer phase because the food transport equipment must have the ideal and standard conditions of the disinfected feed to have an impact. In this study, we compared the disinfectants of samples containing formalin, organic acids, ultraviolet rays, and pellets with the control samples, and the level of contamination was investigated by the Total Kant test. In this experiment, 30 kg of mixed and homogeneous grain was prepared before the disinfection and pelleting process, and 1 kg of pelleted grain was prepared, in which the pellet compounds were prepared as homogeneous and uniform grain. Based on the results, the level of infection in the control group compared to other groups showed a significant difference (P <0.05), and the highest level of infection was observed in the control group.
