Study the efficacy of Bello Zon chlorine dioxide on control of pathogenic bacteria in Lactating Sows

Abstract

This research aims to study and compare the efficiency of controlling germs on surfaces between Bello Zon Chlorine dioxide and Glutaraldehyde, towards reducing the amount of pathogenic bacteria in sows. The population in the study is hybrid sows between the Landrace and LargeWhite breeds, 10 sows with similar basic factors (farrowing date, parity, number of piglets). The sample group is divided into 2 groups, a control group of 5 mothers which using antibiotics. Glutaraldehyde spray after basic cleaning. The trial group of 5 mothers which using Bello Zon Chlorine dioxide 10 ppm, spray after cleaning, replacing the current product. Dara collection: Boot swab and breast swab 4 times at the following durations: 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 480 minutes, respectively. Analyze the decrease in bacterial load over time. Using the experimental plan of analysis of variance with repeated measures (Repeated Measures ANOVA), the differences between the experimental groups were analyzed with a T-test using the R-studio program, with the significance level of the hypothesis test set at the 0.05 level. The result found that the efficiency of using chlorine dioxide for surface disinfection is not different from using the control group of disinfectants Both can be used interchangeably, even more effective at controlling infection than the control group of disinfectants in a period at 480 minutes in the Enterobacteriaceae [Boot swab] and TPC [Boot swab] groups due to increased contamination in the feces of sows and piglets
