Organic acids are effective in controlling both biofilm and plankton that present in poultry farm. Using of foot bath is one of the bio security weapons in the farm. The use of foot bath either wet or dry could be useful in control of pathogen transmission inside and outside the farm, rather than liquid form using semiliquid or dry foot bath could enhance the biosecurity levels in your farm.
