Industry Case Studies

The Science Behind Every Sector We Serve.

Each industry faces a distinct pathogen profile. Explore the specific biosecurity challenges, HOCl efficacy data, and peer-reviewed clinical studies that underpin our approach across commercial poultry, livestock, food processing, and fresh produce.

Commercial Poultry Operations

The Biosecurity Challenge

Commercial poultry operations face an unrelenting dual threat: Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI H5N1/H5N2) — which carries a near-100% mortality rate and mandates whole-flock depopulation on first detection — and the persistent bacterial pressure of Salmonella Enteritidis, Campylobacter jejuni, and E. coli throughout the production cycle. The species barrier is no longer a boundary: H5N1 has spread into U.S. dairy cattle herds, and USDA now requires documented biosecurity protocols before paying indemnity after an outbreak. Traditional sanitation programs — bleach-based footbaths, manual fogging, periodic cleanouts — cannot keep pace with the speed at which HPAI travels through a flock or the continuous recontamination of drinker lines.

Our Approach

The BioShield Guard system treats the farm as a single biological volume: one on-site HOCl generator (M0) feeds seven modules covering water dosing (M1), surface fogging (M2), air treatment intakes (M3), personnel transition stations (M4), equipment pass-throughs (M5), vehicle wash arches (M6), and shell-egg wash (M7). Every entry vector is treated before anything reaches a bird.

Regulatory Basis

FDA FCN 1811 permits HOCl at ≤60 ppm FAC on shell eggs and ≤50 ppm on poultry/meat. USDA FSIS Directive 7120.1 (Rev. 61, 2026) lists it as a safe and suitable antimicrobial. USDA NOP PM 14-3 approves it for certified organic production.

Documented Pathogen Efficacy

PathogenMechanismResult & Source
HPAI H5N1 / H5N2
Enveloped virus; HOCl disrupts lipid envelope and RNA
>99.99% reduction in 2 min at 500 ppm on stainless steel
Genesis HOCl / Poultry Science 2020 [13]
H7N1 Avian Influenza (LPAI)
Spray application directly inactivates AIV at farm level
Virucidal confirmed; 100 ppm = immediate surface inactivation
Hakim et al., J. Vet. Med. Sci. [14]
Salmonella Enteritidis
Gram-negative membrane disruption + oxidative attack on DNA
Complete inactivation on shell eggs at 26 mg/L in 3–4 min
Ni et al., Poultry Science [17]
Campylobacter jejuni
Gram-negative; complete inactivation in liquid within 10 sec
~3-log CFU/g reduction on chicken carcasses (50 mg/L)
Park et al., Int. J. Food Microbiol. [20]
E. coli (incl. O157:H7)
Membrane rupture and metabolic shutdown in 5 seconds
Below detection limit at 50–100 ppm in liquid (5 sec)
Hakim et al., J. Vet. Med. Sci. [8]
Biofilms in drinker lines
Penetrates polysaccharide biofilm matrix; bleach cannot
Reduced TVC and E. coli in broiler drinking water, lower mortality
Bügener et al., Poultry Science [15]
