Cleaning na disinfecting ni hatua mbili tofauti. Cleaning ni kuondoa kinyesi, feed, bedding chafu, mafuta na organic matter. Disinfection ni kutumia njia/product inayopunguza au kuua microorganisms baada ya surface kuwa safi. Disinfectant juu ya kinyesi nene hufanya kazi vibaya.

Daily cleaning

Ondoa feed iliyooza, kinyesi kilichokusanyika sehemu zisizotakiwa, water spills na carcass/placental material. Safisha troughs. Usioshe kwa maji mengi bila drainage, kwa sababu pen yenye unyevu wa kudumu huongeza hoof/skin problems na harufu.

Weekly cleaning

Safisha corners, feeders, drinker fittings na passages. Kagua drains kama zimeziba. Ondoa cobwebs/dust kwenye sehemu za juu bila kuangusha uchafu kwenye pigs au feed. Deep litter system badala yake ihitaji turning/addition ya dry material kulingana na moisture.

Deep cleaning

Wakati pen imeachwa tupu kati ya batches: ondoa animals na equipment; dry clean; soak/pressure wash ikiwa mfumo unaruhusu; tumia detergent; rinse; kisha disinfect kwa product, dilution na contact time sahihi; acha ikauke. Drying ni sehemu muhimu ya hygiene.

All-in/all-out

Kwa mfumo unaowezekana, group ya animals huingia pen pamoja na kutoka pamoja, kisha pen husafishwa kabla ya batch mpya. Hii hupunguza mixing ya age groups na breaking disease cycles. Farm ndogo inaweza kutumia principle hii kwa pens hata kama si building nzima.

Disinfectant safety

Soma label. Baadhi ya products hazifanyi kazi vizuri kwenye organic matter, baadhi huhitaji concentration maalum, na baadhi zinaweza kuwasha ngozi/macho. Usichanganye chemicals bila maelekezo – mchanganyiko fulani unaweza kutoa gesi hatari. Hifadhi mbali na feed na watoto.
