Chlorine Dioxide
Ensuring A Fresh, Healthy, Clean Water Source A Key To Healthy, Happy Birds
When raising backyard chickens, geese, ducks, pheasants, guineas, pigeons or any domestic poultry or waterfowl, making sure the water you supply them is clean and free of pathogens, parasites or protozoa is step one to healthy living.
Especially if your water source is a creek, pond, slough or well that is non-potable. Those water sources can be contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites and protozoa that could infect your flock and cause major health issues.
Even if your water source is a public water source or well that is potable, sanitizing water and equipment helps to reduce biofilm (bacteria and metabolites) and eliminate pathogens that may have entered the waterer from your birds drinking or contaminating the tray.
