Avian Influenza: What Farmers Need to Know in 2025

Avian influenza, or “bird flu,” continues to challenge the poultry industry across the United States. As the virus reemerges each season, producers are working harder than ever to protect their flocks, their workers, and their bottom lines.

Understanding the Threat

Avian influenza spreads quickly in poultry environments. It can move through air, water, feed, and even contaminated equipment or clothing. Once introduced, it can devastate entire operations—causing production loss, culling, and trade restrictions that ripple through the economy.

The Cost of Avian Influenza Outbreaks

According to USDA estimates, tens of millions of birds have been lost to avian influenza since 2022. Beyond direct losses, farmers face disinfection costs, labor disruptions, and extended downtime. Traditional chemical sanitizers, such as bleach and peroxides, often come with their own risks—corrosive effects on equipment, irritation for workers, and inconsistent results in field conditions.

A Smarter, Safer Solution

Envirocleanse offers a next-generation approach to disinfection. Using stabilized hypochlorous acid, the system delivers hospital-grade efficacy without the harsh chemicals. It neutralizes viruses, bacteria, and spores on contact—making it ideal for hatcheries, barns, and transport vehicles.

Because it’s safe for animals and workers, farms can clean more often without shutting down operations. The result: lower risk, better performance, and cleaner environments.
