Germ-free living environment

Maintaining the health of animals can only be achieved in a living environment with a low infection pressure. The first rounds in a recently built stable often proceed smoothly, with exceptionally high levels of animal health and technical results. And that’s no coincidence, as the piglets enter into an environment with hardly any pathogens. By ensuring that pigs continue to live in a low-pathogen environment time and time again, the initial high levels of animal health and technical results can be continuously achieved.

External biosecurity

The first step towards a germ-free environment for pigs is good external biosecurity. This prevents the introduction of pathogens on your farm. Important aspects for this are carcass management and a disinfection gate for all incoming traffic. In addition, a tidy business premises is also important.

Internal biosecurity

Now that all possible ways of introducing pathogens have been excluded from outside, it is important not to spread other germs within the company. Good internal biosecurity includes a professional hygiene lock, the use of a colour system and the use of uniform and physical protocols. These protocols include, for example, the cleaning of hands and the use of clothing and footwear on the company. Our specialists can help you to implement this correctly.

Cleaning & disinfection

The most important and efficient way to create a germ-free living environment is to clean and disinfect properly. Once the pigs have been delivered, an empty and dirty stable is what remains. This dirt is a source of pathogens, which is why all contact materials and surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. By using the right products and application tools you can achieve the desired result time after time.
