2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the reactive oxygen species (ROS) comprises at least one superoxide.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration occurs orally.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subjects are selected from the group consisting of Galliformes and hybrids thereof.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises:
a. sodium present at a concentration of 1000 to 1400 ppm wherein the sodium is measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS),
b. chloride present at a concentration from 1200 to 1600 ppm as wherein the chloride is measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) or chloride is present at a concentration from 0 to 1 ppm wherein the chloride is measured by 35 Cl nuclear magnetic resonance ( 35 Cl NMR),
c. hypochlorous acid present at a concentration of 16 to 24 ppm wherein the hypochlorous acid is measured by colorimetry or hypochlorous acid present at a concentration of 2300 to 2700 ppm wherein the hypochlorous acid is measured by 25 Cl nuclear magnetic resonance ( 25 Cl NMR),
