Using positive biofilms to manage the microbial environment of poultry

Every time new broilers enter a barn biosecurity measures impact the level of microbial pressure. Integrating a protective biofilm approach has been shown to be an effective tool to complement these measures, by helping to instil a positive microbial environment after the disinfection step. Micro-organisms are everywhere. In farm buildings, all surfaces – floors, walls, ceilings and equipment – are colonised by micro-organisms, mainly in the form of biofilms. They can be harmless, positiv
