Lower pathogen pressure on poultry with moisture control
Bacteria require moisture and warmth to survive. By creating and maintaining a dry litter in a poultry barn the growth and spread of bacteria is limited.
Moreover, the moisture in the bedding is the main cause for footpad dermatitis. Actively controlling moisture helps to reduce the risk of the disease.
Different ways to apply a drying powder
Hygiene powders can contribute to maintaining and controlling moisture in various ways during and before a new round.

Treating wet spots and controlling pathogens
After removing a carcass a wetspot can remain on the bedding or in a laying nest, these spots need to be treated with a drying powder to help control the pathogens. Bacteria need moisture to survive, by treating wet spots their growth is inhibited and germ pressure on other animals is reduced.:format(webp))

MS DryCare Des is an active disinfection powder with a very high moisture absorption capacity and pleasant fragrance. The product is approved for effective control against bacteria and yeast. Bacteria, yeast and viruses need moisture to survive, and by reducing moisture and actively disinfecting bacteria and yeast, MS DryCare Des reduces the infection pressure in the barn.

How moisture control can help reduce footpad dermatitis
Controlling moisture in the bedding helps in two ways to prevent footpad dermatitis
- Drier Bedding Material: Maintaining dry and clean bedding material in poultry houses helps keep the litter under the birds’ feet dry. Dry litter reduces the likelihood of moisture accumulating on the footpads, preventing irritation and skin damage.
- Improved Hygiene: Regularly controlling wet spots or removing wet or soiled bedding and replacing it with fresh, dry material reduces the moisture content in the environment. This reduces the chances of bacteria, including those that can contribute to footpad dermatitis, from thriving in damp conditions.
