In order to obtain the optimal process parameters for killing typical mastitis pathogens in cow dung with slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) and achieve efficient and green sterilization of regenerated cow dung bedding, this study investigated the bactericidal effect of SAEW with different effective chlorine concentrations on typical mastitis pathogens in cow dung, and obtained and verified the optimal sterilization process parameters through response surface methodology. The research results showed that: 1) With the increase of available chlorine concentration, the content of four mastitis pathogens in cow dung gradually decreased. After treatment with an available chlorine concentration of 300 mg/L for 24 hours, the sterilization rates of the three pathogens, except Klebsiella, were above 93%. 2)Response surface analysis was performed with pH, available chlorine concentration, and treatment time as three factors. After the credibility of the model was determined by variance analysis, it was determined that the contribution to the killing of Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella was available chlorine concentration > pH > sterilization time, and the contribution to the killing of Streptococcus and Escherichia coli was pH > available chlorine concentration > sterilization time. 3) Combined with the response surface methodology, the optimal sterilization process of SAEW was finally obtained: SAEW pH value of 5.5, available chlorine concentration of 374 mg/L, sterilization time of 34 hours, and the content of S. aureus after sterilization was (3.80±0.17) lg(CFU/g), the sterilization rate was 99.95%, and the other three pathogens were not detected. In conclusion, SAEW has good disinfection potential for dairy cow manure, this contributes significantly to the advancing of green dairy farming and the promotion of sustainable development.
