Disinfection of Poultry Premises, Trucks, Coops and Crates: For heavily soiled areas, a pre-cleaning step is required. Prepare a fresh solution for each use. Remove all poultry and feeds from premises, trucks, coops and crates. Remove all litter and droppings from floors, walls and surfaces of facilities occupied or traversed by poultry. Empty all troughs, racks and other feeding and watering appliances. Thoroughly clean all surfaces with a detergent and rinse with water. Saturate surfaces with a 0.16-0.61% v/v (1.0-3.9 fl. oz. per 5gal) solution of this product for a period of 10 minutes. This is equivalent to 266-1036 ppm PAA and 390-1520 ppm H₂O₂. Thoroughly scrub treated feed racks, troughs, automatic feeders, fountains and waters with a detergent and rinse with potable water before reuse. Ventilate buildings, coops and other closed spaces. Do not house poultry or employ equipment until treatment has been absorbed, set or dried. All treated equipment that will contact food, feed, or drinking water must be rinsed with potable water before reuse. See your technical representative for specific recommendations for all cleaning and rinsing requirements.

Disinfection and Deodorizing of Animal Housing Facilities (Barns, Kennels, Hutches, Etc.): Remove animals and feed from premises, vehicles, and enclosures. Remove litter, waste matter from floors, walls and surfaces of barns, pens, stalls, chutes, and other facilities and fixtures occupied or traversed by animals. Empty all troughs, racks and other feeding and watering equipment. Thoroughly clean all surfaces with soap or detergent and rinse with water. Saturate surfaces by applying a 0.16-0.61% v/v (1.0-3.9 fl. oz. per 5 gal) solution of this product with a mop, brush or spray. This is equivalent to 266-1036 ppm PAA and 390-1520 ppm H₂O₂. Wet all surfaces and allow to remain wet for 10 minutes. Immerse all halters, ropes, and other types of equipment used in handling and restraining animals, as well as forks, shovels and scrapers used for removing litter and manure. Ventilate buildings and other closed spaces. Do not house livestock or employ equipment until treatment has been absorbed, set, or dried. Thoroughly scrub all treated feed racks, mangers, troughs, automatic feeders, fountains and waterers with soap or detergent, and rinse with potable water before reuse.

Commercial Agricultural or Industrial Water System Injection for the Oxidation of Odors When They Form: In well systems, inject this product with a peristaltic pump through a 1/4 inch plastic tube (or other comparable injection system) inserted into the well all the way to the well intake screens. Test the most distant faucet a hydrogen peroxide test strip until a residual of 20-25 ppm hydrogen peroxide is detected indicating that the system has been thoroughly treated. Adjust he injection pump to deliver 25 ppm on a consistent basis to the water system. When treating the watering system for sick animals, test the most distant faucet with a hydrogen peroxide test strip until a residual of 100-1,000 ppm hydrogen peroxide is detected indicating that the system has been thoroughly treated. When this level is reached immediately reduce the injection until the test strip indicates the 25 ppm hydrogen peroxide is reached and the system is maintained at the 25 ppm level. This process can be repeated monthly to ensure a clean water system and avoid screen clogging.

Cleaning Poultry and Livestock Drinking Water Lines:

For drinking water lines using holding tanks make a stock solution by one of the following methods:

● Drinking water lines 500 feet in length or less: mix 0.78 gallons (100 fl. oz.) of this product with 100 gallons of water.

● Drinking water lines exceeding 500 feet in length: mix 1.55 gallons (200 fl. oz.) of this product with 200 gallons of water.

Pump the stock solution, completely filling the drinking water lines.

If the drinking water lines are not supplied by water from holding tanks, prepare a stock solution by one of the following methods:

● Mix 0.38 gallons (49 fl. oz.) of this product with 49 gallons of water in a 50 gallon tank, pumping this solution into the water line, repeating the process as often as needed, until water line is filled.

Allow the stock solution to remain in the water lines for 24-48 hours.

Flush lines with fresh water until water is visibly clear.

Always make a fresh stock solution before use.

TREATMENT OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PROCESS WATER SYSTEMS

This product can be used in water or ice that contacts raw or fresh, post-harvest or further processed fruits and vegetables for the control of spoilage and decay causing bacteria and fungi in commercial operations and packinghouses.

Batch, Continuous or Spray System Processes: Fill vessel containing fruits and vegetables with known amount of water. Ensure that water is circulating in vessel if using the submersion method. Add this product to no more than 500 ppm residual peroxyacetic acid to the use solution in accordance with Food Contact Notification #1738, effective March 28, 2017. This can be accomplished by initially adding 3.8 fl. oz. per 10 gallons of water. The recommended concentration is between 30-300 ppm as peroxyacetic acid (0.23-2.3 fl. oz. per 10 gallons of water). The final concentration necessary to accomplish the intended task will vary from plant-to-plant. The fruits and vegetables can be continuously sprayed or submerged (dipped) in the resulting solution. Periodic or continuous additions of this product to maintain the required concentration may be added as necessary. It is also recommended to apply this product during the washing, chilling, or physical cleaning processes, including the roller-spreader, washer or brush washer manifold, dip tank, or sorting processes. Contact time of 60 seconds is recommended to insure efficacy. A potable water rinse is not required.

Fogging: (Not for Use in California): For raw agricultural commodities, commercially-applied fogging methods may be used provided the dilution rates of the resultant solution does not exceed those prescribed in this section (3.8 fl. oz. per 10 gal. of water). A potable water rinse is not required. Conventional corrosion-resistant fogging devices are recommended. Vacate the area of all personnel prior to, during and after fogging until the total peroxide concentration is below 1.0 ppm, or there is no strong odor present, characteristic of acetic acid.
