Hi fellas here is a a white and black Duroc pig picture taking a bath,a consistently high standard of cleaning and disinfection (C&D) is an effective way to break the on-farm cycle of reinfection with infectious diseases like swine dysentery or salmonella. This should be readily achievable but standards are often allowed to slip and bad habits creep in. A C&D plan should form a major part of your veterinary health plan and should be carried out conscientiously.
Targets
To reduce the disease challenge to the herd
To improve animal health, welfare and pork safety
To increase the growth and efficiency of the herd
The 5 basic steps of cleaning and disinfection:
Remove organic matter
Use a detergent
Clean
Dry
Disinfect
Management Guidelines
Remove
Remove organic waste, eg bedding, muck, feed residue and dust
Resist the temptation to keep back any ‘clean’ straw for reuse – it is a reservoir for infection
Material below the slats should also be removed; if this is not possible, ensure levels remain at least 30cm below floor surfaces and that material cannot leak or overflow
Take out moveable items, eg feeders, drinkers, cleaning tools and clean and disinfect separately.
Remember to isolate any fixed electrics!
Clean and disinfect the water system (including the header tank and filters) using a recommended product.
