Key Challenges
Key challenges constraining safe operation and efficiency improvement
Biofilm Pollution in Drinking Water Pipelines
Narrow, bendy poultry drinking lines, plus feed residues and poultry feces entering water, easily form biofilms. Biofilms breed E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter, causing chick pullorum, laying hen salpingitis, egg production drop 15%-20%, mortality up to 10%-15%.
Conflict Between Disinfectants and Gut Health
To control drinking water pollution, some farms add antibiotics or acidifiers long-term. Antibiotic abuse disrupts poultry gut flora balance, reduces immunity, leads to resistant bacteria, increasing disease control difficulty; acidifiers temporarily lower pH but have limited biofilm removal, irritating chick digestive mucosa and affecting feed intake.
Management Challenges in Large-Scale Farming
Large farms have dozens of sheds, dispersed drinking systems; traditional manual cleaning requires dismantling pipelines per shed, time-consuming (2-3 hours per shed), hard to thoroughly remove inner biofilms; manual water quality testing lags, unable to monitor disinfection in real-time, epidemics spread easily once outbreak.
Solution
A Tiered UV-C Disinfection Architecture for End-to-End Protection
Our multi-layered defense system integrates directly into the water delivery network, providing continuous, chemical-free disinfection from source to beak.
Water Source Pre-Treatment and Main Pipeline Disinfection
Install medium UV-C units at total farm inlets (e.g., reservoir outlets, municipal interfaces) for initial disinfection; deploy small UV-C modules at each shed's main drinking pipeline entrance, forming "total-branch" two-level system, ensuring all water entering sheds is sterilized.
Terminal Nipple / Trough Disinfection
Add micro UV-C components at chick shed drinking trays and laying hen nipple fronts, ensuring terminal output ≤50CFU/mL, avoiding pathogen contact during drinking. Some high-end models use LED UV-C sources, compact (2cm diameter), directly embeddable without system modification.
Value Embodiment
Synergistic Optimization of Safety, Efficiency, and Cost
Transitioning to UV-C disinfection is not just an expense; it's a strategic investment that delivers a rapid return through reduced mortality, lower operational costs, and access to premium markets.
