Poultry Dipslides Testing
Dipslides can be used to test both drinking water and poultry housing (floor and walls) for the presence of bacteria.
You can either dip the slide in water, run it along surfaces or use a swab to transfer the sample on to the slide.
High levels of bacteria in poultry drinking water can cause bacterial diarrhoea and even blood poisoning if the bacteria leaks from damaged intestines.
Aerobic bacteria found in poultry housing can include E.coli, Staphylococcus, Pseudomona and Micrococcus among others. Contaminants can also contribute to harmful dust that can affect the respiratory systems of both the poultry and workers / owners.
Our SCT dipslides are ideal for testing both fluids and surfaces.
The SCT slide tests for coliforms on one side (a high level of coliform bacteria in water can indicate fecal contamination). Coliform bacteria are also often prevalent in poultry housing litter. The other side tests for total count (red spot dye) and can indicate the level of aerobic bacteria in poultry housing or water.
This listing and price is for 1 box which contains 10 slides. The minimum order is for 5 boxes (50 slides).
