The use of ozone in food production has now reached farm level where it is used in poultry production. By dozing a limited amount of ozone into the production environment seems to keep down bacterial growth and possibly break down harmful gaseous compounds that are by-products in poultry production. It is also believed that animals utilize the feed better, are healthier and are less likely to become sick when ozone is used. Therefore less vaccines and drugs should be needed during the production which again means healthier products for the consumer.Ozone is used in the poultry industry as air and water treatments for the storage, incubation of eggs and breeding of healthy birds.Drinking water for poultry is an important dietary requirement. Under normal conditions, birds will consume, approximately, double the quantity as food on weight basis.
