Biofilm formation and multispecies interactions of bacteria recovered from drinking water systems in broiler houses and piglet nursery units

ABSTRACT The presence of biofilms on the surfaces of drinking water systems in livestock housing can compromise the microbiological quality of drinking water. Understanding the biofilm microbiome and the biofilm-forming capacity of its dominant species is therefore essential, particularly for identifying species that c...

Laboratory and pilot-farm evaluation of cleaning and disinfection protocols for biofilms in livestock drinking water systems

Persistent biofilms harboring pathogens can compromise drinking water quality in livestock housing, leading to animal health issues and reduced production. Microbial water quality can be maintained through various treatments and/or by cleaning and disinfecting drinking water systems to remove dirt and biofilms. However...
