HPAI biosecurity: PP surfaces achieve full log-reduction of avian influenza virus with standard QAC or PAA disinfection. Wood grain absorption prevents equivalent log-reduction — a critical distinction for USDA APHIS compliance in HPAI surveillance zones.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What vent percentage do PP poultry crates have?

Standard Elipacko poultry crates have 20–30% vent area. Custom vent patterns are available for specific climate conditions or bird welfare certification requirements.

How do you sanitize PP poultry crates between flocks?

Standard protocol: dry debris removal, cold pre-soak, hot-pressure wash (140–160°F) with approved detergent, approved disinfectant (QAC or PAA), final rinse, air dry inverted. PP achieves full log-reduction of avian pathogens with this protocol.

Can PP poultry crates be used for turkey?

Yes. Elipacko produces crates sized for turkeys (800×600×400mm standard) with higher structural ratings for the greater weight per bird. Custom dimensions available.

What is the stack height for loaded poultry crates?

4–6 high on transport vehicles. The stacking locators on the base engage the rim below to prevent lateral shift during transport. Exact stack height depends on your crate configuration and vehicle racking.

Do PP poultry crates require ISPM-15 for export?

No. PP is plastic — entirely exempt from ISPM-15 wood packaging requirements.
