Abstract

The present work aimed to evaluate the effect of the water treated with polymeric biguanide (Vantocil IB) in different dilutions upon the sanitary conditions of broilers. Five treatments and four repetitions were carried out with 200 broilers. Group 1: not treated water - negative witness; Group 2: sodium hypoclorite treated water (0.4-0.6 ppm) - positive witness; Group 3: polymeric biguanide treated water (Vantocil IB - 1:2000); Group 4: polymeric biguanide treated water (Vantocil IB - 1:4000); Group 5: polymeric biguanide treated water (Vantocil IB - 1:6000). The experimental unit was represented by ten broilers, and the experiment was conducted from July to August, 1995, during 42 days. The results pointed out that there was no influence in ration consumption, weight gain and medium weight. Groups 5 and 4 presented the best performance while Group 3 presented the worst results. Polymeric biguanide as well as sodium hypoclorite proved to be efficient in the tested dilutions.

KEY-WORDS: Water; polymeric biguanide; broilers.
