Anybody use Oxine AH?

It have heard that it is known to kill viruses and bacteria, with no egg down time. Just wondering if anyone has used it?

Great article for you. From that article:

I use 1/8 tsp/gallon of water in my chickens’ drinking water every other day to keep down the biofilm (slime) that forms on the inside of the waterers. It also keeps the bacteria level down for when that amazingly accurate missile of a dropping somehow makes it into the drinking water trough every day. (On the opposite days I like to include a combination vitamin, mineral, and probiotic supplement in their water instead.)​

That article is great! Im so glad it can be used and dont have to throw eggs away! Im going to try to contact the company to find out about using it with young chicks. Im really surprised more people dont use it!

all the time, I get mine from Culter Supply, a few drops in every waterer keeps the grunge out, all ages of birds and in my incubator humidity pan

Thank you! That is what i wanted to hear!!! Tell me, do you happen to know if I can use it in a Galvanized waterer? I have both (galv. and plastic) but i prefer the galv in the winter!

for me Plastic only, I have no galv, but I do know a horse person who puts it in the galv water tank without a problem
