A NOVEL APPROACH TO FOOT DIPPING
Robert L. Owen and John Lawlor
![Page 2: 1 A NOVEL APPROACH TO FOOT DIPPING Robert L. Owen and John Lawlor](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d085503460f949d974b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The Problem
• Biosecurity is a year round obligation
• In some parts of the country, foot dipping is impossible at certain times of the year.
• Universally, foot pans are inadequately maintained.
![Page 3: 1 A NOVEL APPROACH TO FOOT DIPPING Robert L. Owen and John Lawlor](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d085503460f949d974b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Solution
1) Ignore that the problem exists
2) Discontinue use of foot pans
3) Utilize pump up sprayers filled with disinfectant
4) How about a dry foot bath?

Question 1
Are foot pan solutions effective at reducing the numbers of bacteria on shoes of hatchery workers?

Question 2
How long does a foot pan solution stay clean in a hatchery environment?

Materials and Methods
• A total of 5 dry products were tested
• Early testing was for efficacy of Salmonella control only
• Based on these results 2 of the 5 original products were dropped due to lack of efficacy or cost
• Remaining products were tested versus currently used liquid products
![Page 9: 1 A NOVEL APPROACH TO FOOT DIPPING Robert L. Owen and John Lawlor](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062308/56649d085503460f949d974b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Testing Procedure
• Swab was collected from the sole of the technician’s shoe before stepping into test pan
• Stood in test pan for 10 second contact time
• Shoe was again swabbed after stepping out of test pan
• Samples were directly plated on TSA and incubated 37oC for 18 to 24 hours
• Colonies enumerated by direct count
• >400 classified as TNTC
• Repeated daily until efficacy was lost

Materials and Methods: Trial 2
• Actually done in the hatchery
• Employee’s shoe was swabbed before stepping into test pan
• Between Chick Room and Break Room
• Real World 5 to 10 second contact time

Conclusions
• Duration of effectiveness for solution in foot pans is very short under field conditions
• Dry disinfectants are effective at reducing bacterial numbers on shoes
• Duration of effectiveness for dry disinfectants is substantially longer than for solutions

Practical Applications
• Real goal is to reduce tracking of bacteria – especially Salmonella
• Only part of an overall biosecurity program
