I am a user of Medion products, Egg Stimulant<\/strong>, Strong Egg<\/strong>, Vita Stress<\/strong>, and others. I give these vitamins through a pipe using nipple drinker <\/em>at the farm broiler<\/em> me. Why does the sediment from the rest of the vitamins sometimes make the water smell and form biofilm<\/em>? How to deal with it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you Mr. Wayan, for the question.\u00a0Biofilm<\/em>\u00a0is a kind of layer of mucus and Moss attached to the surface of drinking places, reservoirs\/tubs, and water pipes that become a place of growth and development of pathogenic microbes such as bacteria\u00a0E. Coli infection<\/em>\u00a0(causes\u00a0colibacillosis<\/em>). If not addressed immediately, the growth\u00a0biofilm<\/em>\u00a0this over time can lead to clogging of the water flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In addition to containing pathogenic microbes,\u00a0biofilm<\/em>\u00a0also composed of organic materials dissolved in water and\u00a0slime<\/em>\u00a0which is a layer of mucus. In general, the formation of biofilms in drinking water pipes (or other surface objects) can be triggered by several things such as pipes exposed to solar heat continuously, the residual use of antibiotics or vitamins through drinking water that is not cleaned, hanging water pipes, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biofilm<\/em>\u00a0acts as a defense mechanism for pathogenic bacteria by increasing resistance to scours that can sweep away cells that are not attached, penetrating or compounds such as antibiotics and vitamins. Chemically,\u00a0biofilm<\/em>\u00a0able to fortify bacteria from the penetration of compounds that are toxic to them. That is why the formation of this biofilm can later cause the action of providing antiseptics in drinking water to be not optimal. So smelly water is also the impact of bacterial growth in\u00a0biofilm<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Taking into account the above problems, cleaning should already be done\u00a0biofilm<\/em>\u00a0periodically.\u00a0Biofilm<\/em>\u00a0itself can only be removed by physical treatment such as by pipe cleaning using cloth-Fed wire ends or\u00a0flushing<\/em>.\u00a0Flushing<\/em>\u00a0it is an easy and effective way to use, namely by cleaning drinking water pipes using high pressure water (about 1.5 \u2013 3 bar) or with a water spraying rate of 1 minute every 30 meters of paralon pipe.\u00a0Flushing<\/em>\u00a0can be done routinely, especially after giving antibiotics, vitamins, and vaccines through drinking water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before it is done\u00a0flushing<\/em>\u00a0we recommend that the water pipe be emptied first until there is no remaining water. Action\u00a0flushing<\/em>\u00a0it will be optimal if previously the inside of the pipe is soaked with lifting material\u00a0biofilm<\/em>\u00a0such as hydrogen peroxide (H2<\/sub>O2<\/sub>) so that the biofilm can be lifted \/ detached. To make a solution of H2<\/sub>O2<\/sub>, a total of 20-30 ml of liquid H2<\/sub>O2<\/sub>\u00a0Pure is mixed with 1 liter of water. Solution H2<\/sub>O2<\/sub>\u00a0it is then dissolved into a reservoir\/reservoir of water and drained to the end of the pipes leading to the drinking place or nipple drinker. After that, it is allowed to stand for at least 2-3 hours, and then rinsed with pressurized water or flushing. In Addition To H2<\/sub>O2<\/sub>, can also use other materials such as citric acid at a dose of 3 grams\/liter or vinegar acid at a dose of 8 ml\/liter which was allowed to stand for 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When will be done\u00a0flushing<\/em>, while the water pipeline can not be used to flow Drinking Water to the chicken\u00a0nipple drinker<\/em>. Therefore, so that the chicken is not thirsty, you should prepare a manual drinking place at night when the consumption of chicken drink a little, or method\u00a0flushing<\/em>\u00a0this is done when the cage is empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
