Antes que nada felicitaciones por el artículo y su contribución.
En mis visitas como consultor de bioseguridad a muchísimas granjas de Latinoamérica (de todo tipo y con todo tipo de manejo, desde las más primitivas a las más tecnificadas) donde se ha presentado el PRDC siempre he recomendado la práctica diaria de desinfección del ambiente con microgotas (ultra low volume ) y los resultados han sido de buenos a excelentes.
No es la panacea que resuelve todo pero con toda seguridad puedo decir que hace una gran diferencia, mejora mucho la sanidad del plantel y reduce el costo en antibióticos.
La clave está en usar el producto correcto (amplio espectro, no corrosivo, y de baja toxicidad) a la dosis correcta (sin tratar de abaratar , con una frecuencia diaria y usando el equipo adecuado de aplicación.
Otro punto clave es asegurarse que el sistema de agua esté debidamente desinfectado, sin biofilms y evitar el estrés en todo lo que sea posible.
Saludos a todos
