Powerful Protection Against HPAI:
Microbe Ninja’s HOCl Generators + NebulaOne Nebulizer
As of January 2022, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) viruses have been detected across the U.S. in wild birds, commercial poultry, and backyard flocks—posing a serious threat to the poultry industry and public health.
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a naturally occurring, EPA-approved disinfectant, offers a powerful solution. Known for its ability to eliminate a broad spectrum of pathogens, HOCl rapidly inactivates viruses, including influenza strains
like H5N1 and H1N1, on surfaces and in the air.
HOCl (hypochlorous acid) is a potent & safe antimicrobial agent
The bird flu epidemic (known as HPAI) has led to significant economic losses and raised global public health concerns.
While traditional mitigation strategies like culling, vaccination, and biosecurity measures are in place, searching for additional preventive and disinfection methods is essential.
HOCl (hypochlorous acid) is a potent and safe antimicrobial agent recognized for its ability to neutralize pathogens, including avian influenza viruses.
- The poultry industry faces billions in losses due to Avian Flu or H5N1 avian influenza (also known as bird flu) outbreaks.
- Current solutions (culling, vaccines, harsh disinfectants) are inefficient and costly.
- Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) at 100-200 ppm offers a scientifically proven, cost-effective, and scalable alternative.
Understanding Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)
Hypochlorous acid is a naturally occurring substance produced by white blood cells in humans and animals to fight infections.
It is widely recognized for its potent disinfecting properties while being non-toxic and safe for humans, animals, and the environment.
Unlike harsh chemicals, HOCl effectively eliminates bacteria, viruses, and fungi without leaving harmful residues.
How HOCl Can Help Combat Avian INFLUENZA
1. Effective Viral Disinfection
HOCl has been demonstrated to inactivate a broad spectrum of viruses, including influenza strains. Studies indicate that HOCl can disrupt viruses’ lipid envelopes and proteins, effectively neutralizing them. When used as a disinfectant in poultry farms, processing plants, and animal enclosures, HOCl can significantly reduce the presence of the HPAI (avian influenza or bird flu) virus as well as many other pathogens on surfaces, including dirt and equipment, air and water.
2. Safe for Livestock and Humans
Unlike chlorine-based disinfectants that pose risks of toxicity and irritation, HOCl is safe to use around animals and humans.
It does not cause respiratory distress or skin irritation, making it an ideal disinfectant for farm environments.
Farmers and workers can use HOCl to sanitize hands, boots, and clothing without harmful side effects.
3. Enhanced Biosecurity Measures
Implementing HOCl as part of a comprehensive biosecurity strategy can help prevent the spread of bird flu. HOCl can be used in:
-
Aerosol fogging systems to disinfect large poultry houses.
- Water treatment to ensure clean drinking water for birds.
- Surface disinfection of equipment, cages, and transport vehicles.
- Air disinfection to reduce airborne viral particles.
4. Cost-effective and Eco-Friendly
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is an affordable and sustainable alternative to traditional chemical disinfectants. An HOCl generator can easily produce HOCl on-site using the electrolysis of salt, water, and a small amount of vinegar (preferably organic).
This method provides an affordable and sustainable alternative to commercial disinfectants while reducing dependency on them.
Moreover, hypochlorous acid is environmentally friendly and breaks down into harmless components, making it a responsible choice for poultry farmers looking to maintain disease-free operations.
The Future of HOCl
for H5 Prevention
HOCl solutions can inactivate avian influenza viruses on contaminated surfaces, reducing the risk of outbreaks. As it continues to threaten the poultry industry and public health, integrating HOCl into existing disease prevention strategies can offer an additional layer of protection. Researchers and policymakers should consider promoting the use of HOCl in poultry farming, food processing, and public sanitation efforts.
We can take a proactive step toward controlling avian influenza outbreaks and ensuring safer, healthier food production systems with the power of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). It is powerful enough to fight these pathogens, including Avian Flu (H5N1/H5).
