Biosecurity

Biosecurity includes the management practices that reduce the potential for the introduction or spread of infectious pathogens onto and between farms. Crytosporidium control requires both biosecurity and targeted prophylactic treatment. Reducing infectious pressure in the environment combines thorough cleaning with high-performance detergent followed by the use of a broad‑spectrum disinfectant with proven efficacy : not all disinfectants are effective against Cryptosporidium and coccidia, and mixed pathogen challenges are common.

Biosecurity Protocol

Step 01

SCRAPING - DRY CLEANING

  1. Remove the food, disassemble the removable equipment, dust.
  2. Dry clean all internal surfaces. Concrete floor: remove manure, scrape and sweep the floor.
Step 02

CLEANING

  1. Scouring: Scour the surfaces with a high-pressure pump (100 bar) to remove dirt, favoring water flow instead of high pressure which can damage surfaces.
  2. Foaming: Soak all surfaces with DT Max®: 2 L for 100 L of water. Apply with a foam sprayer. To optimise the quality of washing and disinfection, leave on for 15 to 30 minutes.
  3. Rinsing: Completely rinse all surfaces with the high pressure pump.
Step 03

DISINFECTION BY SPRAYING

  1. Disinfection: disinfect empty hutches, barns and calving areas by spraying or foaming with a Prophyl S 2% solution (2L per 100 L of water). Let if fully dry before rebedding. (2 hours contact time minimum)
  1. Disinfection: Disinfect all access corridors and the dock by spraying or foaming with a foam sprayer. PROPHYL® S: 2 L per 100 L of water > EFFECTIVE ON CRYPTO-COCCI.
