Hydrogen Peroxide in Water

35% hydrogen peroxide is food grade and is safe for internal as well as external use. Hydrogen peroxide 3% found in drug stores containers stabilizers to keep it active when it sits on a shelf for long periods of time and should not be swallowed because of the stabilizers.

Food grade hydrogen peroxide has countless uses and when used in proper concentrations is completely safe. I've hydrogen peroxide has been used with great success in curing cancer until the FDA regulated it out of the united states. It is uses widely in mexico's cancer treatment centers.

HP works wonders for killing parasites, blood borne pathogens, germs and bacteria that cause colds and flu, salmonella, tape worms, round worms, etc. Diatomaceous earth has been found to control mites, flies and fleas when added to sand for chickens to dust bathe so HP works internally for more dangerous pathogens.

You do need to be careful handling it in the concentrated form as it will turn the skin white and burn. Just rinse your hands in water if u get some on you. The white will go away in a few hrs. I wear gloves when I dispense it or use a paper towel. Never use HP in its foll 35% concentration. To make a 3% solution for uses such a cleaning products or for first aide, use 1 oz of HP 35% in 11 ozs of water. I store the full strength in my freezer. It does not freeze but it keeps it stable.

I drink 3 drops of 35% HP in filtered water once a month and sometimes more frequently if people around me r sick. I do not hesitate to put it in my chickens drinking water and my dogs to prevent worms, etc. Here r the ratios for a small flock:

1 oz of 3% solution in one quart of water

(remember: 1 oz of 35% HP in 11 ozs of water makes a 3% solution)

At the risk of stepping on some toes here...

Dale asked a specific question, but most of what I've seen here is opinions with nothing to back it up. Now, I haven't been using H2O2 long enough to be able to provide definitive results, but everything that I have read (other than opinions posted on forums) indicates that when used correctly, Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is both safe and effective in making sure that drinking water is safe. I have also talked with a friend who has been using H2O2 with his "kitchen flock" of chickens and his commercial goat operation. He is an enthusiastic supporter of its use. He owns and operates a very large scale commercial greenhouse operation (primarily floral greens), and he uses H2O2 for his plants. His study prompted him to start using it with his livestock as well.

My own chicken watering system is based on a 35 gallon water tank on a 10' tower that gravity feeds drinking cups via PVC pipe run underground to each of the chicken coops. I used to use a Chlorox dilution recommended by the USDA (for human consumption!) to make sure that the chickens all had good, clean water. It is my belief, based on what I've read, that H2O2 is safer and more effective. Studies have demonstrated that H2O2 is much more effective at cleaning the organic growth from the inside of water lines (and presumably from stand-alone waterers) than bleach is, so that is what I have switched to.

Hydrogen Peroxide is basically just a water molecule with an extra atom of Oxygen attached. It is fairly unstable, which makes it a powerful oxidizer - basically it "burns up" whatever it contacts. To say that H2O2 is "bad" without backing that up is misleading, at best.

Opinions are fine, and if someone doesn't want to use H2O2 because it is not "natural", then that's fine. I admire those who take that stand and go completely natural. Just make sure that you aren't misleading others into thinking that your opposition to the use of Hydrogen Peroxide is based on hard evidence rather than just personal preference.

Bottom Line: ALL evidence that I have seen indicates that, when used according to standard recommendations, Hydrogen Peroxide is a safe and effective additive to chicken drinking water. I use it for my own chickens, and know others who do also.

I know I'm new here but I have used H2O2 to sanitize drinking water in the past and it is fine for internal use in small amount (8drops per Gallon I think), PLEASE fallow the directions and use FOOD GRADE H2O2 ONLY!
Hi, Is this 8 drops per gallon done with 35% food grade H2O2? Or has it been diluted to 3% first?

Same for your dog? 1oz of 3% in one qt water. Where are you getting this info. I did not read that in the link you provided.
 
Hello,

Has anyone had any experience using Hydrogen Peroxide added to water to improve the health and productivity of hens?

I've heard about it but haven't had much luck finding info for small flocks. Here's an article I found, (had to remove some of the address, the system wouldn't allow it):

purewaterworksinc.com/index_files/poultryuses.htm

but it talks about 35% hydrogen peroxide which is much stronger than the stuff from the drugstore.

If it really works to help with preventing disease and boosting egg production I'd like to try it but wanted to check if anyone else has had any experience before I do.

Thanks!

Dale
Food grade peroxide. Poultry farms use it all the time.
