Disinfection & Biosecurity
Biosecurity keeps disease out, while a complete between-flock process helps clear the shed. Cleaning order and contact time matter because organic material can reduce disinfectant effectiveness.
Areas of focus
for your farm.
Advice is shaped around the flock and the practical conditions on the farm.
- Control people, vehicle and equipment entry
- Sequence dry cleaning, washing and disinfection
- Include water-line treatment and planned downtime
- Train the crew and verify with suitable swabs
A practical review,

-
Step 3
Include lines and downtime
Include water-line care and the planned empty period in the discussion.
See details- Describe the current water-line cleaning routine.
- Discuss how line care fits into the shed cleaning plan.

- Discuss where further checks would be useful.
What you get Practical guidance the team can refer to.
Understand the issue,
then choose a next step.
Skipping washing, shortening contact time or missing entry routes can leave gaps between flocks. Rodent and insect control also form part of entry management.
