A Poultry Farm Nearly Wiped Out by Airborne Disease, Until the AIROFOG U260

How one broiler farm survived a respiratory outbreak by switching to ULV cold fogging

The 4 a.m. Mr. Somphong will never forget

Somphong has raised broilers near Nakhon Pathom for 18 years. That morning, house no. 2 felt wrong, the usual noise replaced by laboured, rattling breathing, watery eyes and birds huddled in heaps. At the far end, dead birds lay in a long row.

Within three days mortality jumped from a handful to thousands. The vet confirmed an airborne respiratory infection spreading through droplets and the dust kicked up from droppings, fast in a closed, humid, ammonia-heavy house. Somphong wondered why daily washing simply could not stop it.

The losses you cannot see eat the whole operation

Flock health: survivors grow slowly, miss target weight and stay vulnerable to the next pathogen.

Finance: feed and medicine costs are wasted, buyers slash prices the moment they hear the word outbreak, and some lots are rejected outright.

Reputation: a farm flagged for disease faces tougher inspections and risks losing supply contracts with major integrators.

Why washing, foot dips and pressure spraying fall short

Floor washing only treats surfaces, but the real pathogens float in the air and cling to dust, rafters and feeder crevices that hands never reach. Foot dips and large-droplet pressure spraying drop to the floor too fast to act on airborne microbes, while harsh fumigation is dangerous to people and forces long empty-house downtime. What farms lack is a tool that turns disinfectant into true micron-sized mist.

The turning point: the AIROFOG U260 ULV fogger

The vet rebuilt Somphong's disinfection routine around the German-made AIROFOG U260. Its 800W motor breaks disinfectant into a 15-30 micron mist that lingers in the air and reaches rafters, vents and dust where pathogens hide. He now fogs after each flock is removed, before new chicks arrive, and on a maintenance cycle in between using animal-safe solution. The 5-litre tank covers a whole house, six nozzle settings tune the output, and the 50 cm trunk hose reaches under cages and feed lines.

10 reasons poultry farms choose the AIROFOG U260

Why professional poultry operations make the AIROFOG U260 the heart of biosecurity:

1. 15-30 micron mist: reaches every corner and the dust where pathogens cling, killing airborne microbes washing cannot touch.
2. Wide coverage: fogs long houses fast, cutting empty-house downtime between flocks.
3. Many disinfectants: works with vet-approved poultry-safe solutions.
4. 6 nozzle settings: tune output for wash-down or in-flock maintenance fogging.
5. 50 cm trunk hose: aims under cages, water and feed lines, and dead corners.
6. Only 3.4 kg: walk and fog the whole farm solo without fatigue.
7. Over 99.99% reduction: proven on viruses, bacteria and fungi in real tests.
8. Less labour: far faster than hand washing, saving time and wages.
9. World-class standards: certified by WHO, TUV Rheinland and Thai authorities.
10. Fast payback: preventing one whole-lot loss can cover the machine.

Before vs After the U260

What real users say

Since we fog with the U260 before every new batch, the repeat outbreaks are gone, birds grow well and mortality dropped a lot. Worth every baht.
