Having an effective cleaning and disinfection program is a crucial step in every poultry biosecurity program. A cleaning and disinfection program should be instituted after a poultry building has been depopulated and before restocking occurs on the farm. The main purpose of a cleaning and disinfection program is to reduce the number of pathogens in the environment. By reducing pathogen numbers, we can reduce the potential for diseases to occur in our poultry flock and in turn keep your flocks healthy. There are several types of disinfectants, and the one chosen should be effective against the disease agents you are targeting. Here, you will find a wealth of knowledge about classes of disinfectants, factors affecting chemical disinfectant activities, cleaning and disinfection of poultry houses, cleaning and disinfection of milking parlours as well as cleaning and disinfection of poultry hatcheries.
