How to formulate the AQUATIZE® 1:2000 stock solution, sanitize water lines, and dose correctly throughout the broiler grow-out cycle.

Step One

Formulating a 1:2000 Stock Solution

During normal conditions, stock solutions of AQUATIZE® will be utilized in a variation of three (3) dilutions. The three dilutions typically utilized in applying AQUATIZE® are 1:2000 (1 gallon of AQUATIZE® to 2000 gallons of water), 1:3500, and 1:5000. These dilutions indicate the final level of AQUATIZE® to be present within the given volume of water — for instance, 1:2000 indicates one (1) unit of AQUATIZE® in 2000 units of water. Mixing of the stock solution should be done in a clean, plastic bucket.

1:2000 Solution

To create a stock solution with a final dilution of 1:2000, thoroughly mix 32 fluid ounces of concentrated AQUATIZE® in four (4) gallons of water (6.25% AQUATIZE® to water). Use this mixture in a water proportioner that combines one (1) ounce of the mixture with 128 fluid ounces of water.

Alternative

Thoroughly mix two (2) gallons of concentrated AQUATIZE® in 32 gallons of fresh water. Use this mixture in a water proportioner that combines one (1) ounce of the mixture with 128 fluid ounces of water.

Step Two

Cleaning and Sanitizing Water Lines

48–72 hours prior to placing animals in the raising facility:

  • • Prior to using AQUATIZE® (at least 48 hours prior to placement), clean and flush water lines thoroughly to remove biofilm.
  • • Forty-eight (48) hours prior to placement, fill water lines with AQUATIZE® at the 1:2000 dilution level.
  • • Twenty-four (24) hours prior to placement, thoroughly flush water lines and refill lines with the 1:2000 dilution.

Step Three

Administering AQUATIZE® During the Grow-Out Cycle

Under normal conditions (no pathogens in the birds):

  • • Use AQUATIZE® at 1:2000 parts in the drinking water for the last 14 days prior to marketing.
  • • If pathogens are detected early in the grow-out, begin administering AQUATIZE® immediately and continue throughout the remainder of the grow-out.
Pathogen-triggered dosing overrides the standard last-14-days schedule — start immediately upon detection rather than waiting for the pre-market window.
