	<span style=\"font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Six different kinds
of non-metallic or organic disinfectants were obtained in this research stu</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">dy including ˇ°Neutral Electrolyzed Waterˇ±, ˇ°M22ˇ± </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">organic
disinfectant solution, Superoxy Food Wash disinfectant, Hydrogen Peroxide,
Clorox Germicidal Bleach and Clidox-S. The
effectiveness of these disinfectants was studied against various
subtypes of avian influenza virus (AIV). The virus-disinfectant mixtures were
prepared in serial dilutions of each disinfectant with a constant virus titer
and incubated at ambient temperature in different time intervals for virus in</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">activation. The virus inactivation results
were determined by virus recovery in embryonating chic</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ken eggs.
Among the six different kinds of nonmetallic disinfectants obtained for this
research project, Neutral Electrolyzed Water, ˇ°M22ˇ± solu</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">tion, Clorox Germicidal Bleach and Clidox-S were
effectively inactivated AIV with appropriate work</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">ing dilutions and
reaction times. Superoxy Food Wash disinfectant and Hydrogen Peroxide were
found having limited effect on virus inactivation with extended exposure times
of more than 2 hours. These research findings provide scientific data to
poultry industry with guidelines to select and use non-metallic organic
disinfectants for poultry flock sanitation and disinfection to effectively
prevent and control of avian influenza outbreaks.</span></span>
