How to Properly Wash Nipple Drinking Lines
- Open the nipple drinking tubes to drain completely.
- Put the cleaning materials into the drinking pipes.
- See the water coming out of the pipes to make sure that there are cleaning substances in it, such as foam.
- Close the drinking pipes after being filled with cleaning materials and let the materials remain in the pipes according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (more than 24 hours if possible).
- After the specified period of time, remove the cleaning materials from the drinking pipes with water pressure. The water used for this purpose should contain the same level of detergent that is normally present in the drinking water of birds. In the absence of a standard water sanitation program, an initial concentrated solution can be prepared by adding 113 grams of 5% sodium hypochlorite per one liter and then diluted it to the ratio of 7.5 grams per liter. By this means, with 3-5 PPM chlorine clean water will be provided.
- After cleaning, purging, and draining the system, the supply water must be fresh and chlorinated (3-5 PPM in the farthest water source from the source). If using an oxidative activity measuring device (ORP), its number must be at least 650.
Also keep the following points in mind:
The water pipes from the well to the poultry houses should also be cleaned between the two flocks.
The best way is not to drain the water from the pipes outside the hall through the pipes inside the hall.
Therefore, in order to drain the water pipes outside, we connect the hose connecting the pipes outside the hall to the medicine tank, and through this system, we drain the water and clean the water pipes outside the hall.
