In the processing of poultry, equipment, instruments, apparatus and/or water
used
in such processing, and/or carcasses and/or parts of poultry resulting from the
processing of poultry, are disinfected with aqueous solutions of certain halogen-based
microbiocides, especially certain bromine-based microbiocides. Described are the
particular microbiocides used and the substantial advantages of using such materials,
in some cases as concentrated solutions and in other cases as dilute solutions.
