Hydrogen Peroxide in Poultry Drinking Water Benefits Risks

On the pros and cons of hydrogen peroxide in poultry drinking water
Now on the matter of adding hydrogen peroxide to poultry drinking water, its pros and cons exist and cannot be ignored.

Hydrogen peroxide in poultry drinking water has many benefits. First, it can be disinfected and sterilized. Daily drinking water of poultry is easy to breed various germs, causing poultry diseases and affecting health and production performance. Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties, which can effectively kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in water, purify the drinking water environment, make the water consumed by poultry cleaner and safer, and reduce the chance of disease. Such as common E. coli, salmonella, etc., it is difficult to survive in contact with hydrogen peroxide, thereby protecting the intestinal health of poultry and improving overall immunity.

Second, it may promote nutrient absorption. An appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide may regulate the physical and chemical properties of water, optimize the environment in the digestive system of poultry, and help them better absorb nutrients in the feed. This is beneficial for the growth and development of poultry, and the improvement of egg and meat production performance.

However, its latent risk cannot be ignored. If the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is used improperly, it is easy to cause damage to the poultry's mouth, throat, gastrointestinal tract, etc. Poultry drink water containing high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, and the oral mucosa may be irritated, causing oral ulcers and other problems; after entering the gastrointestinal tract, it may destroy the normal flora balance in the intestinal tract, affect digestive function, cause diarrhea, indigestion and other symptoms.

And long-term excessive use of hydrogen peroxide, or make bacteria resistant. When pathogens are exposed to low doses of hydrogen peroxide for a long time, they will gradually adapt and evolve a resistance mechanism. After that, the conventional disinfection dose may not achieve the expected sterilization effect, which brings hidden dangers to the epidemic prevention work of poultry breeding.

In summary, the use of hydrogen peroxide in poultry drinking water needs to weigh the pros and cons. Farmers should accurately grasp its concentration and frequency of use in order to give full play to its benefits, avoid risks, ensure the healthy growth of poultry, and maximize the benefits of breeding.
