From the organisation of operational processes for animal and animal feed purchasing to controlling access by non-farm personnel, from the pig farming operation to loading the pigs - all aspects must be clearly regulated. Salmonella as well as Streptococci and dysentery are risks that can be effectively combated through targeted health management. Because the health of your animals comes first.
In addition to certain feel-good factors such as a place to lie and biorhythms, above all adequate water and feed intake and a keen awareness of hygiene are of crucial importance for healthy and productive animals.
Hygiene locks prevent pathogens from getting into the stalls. The hygiene room and hygiene lock requirements differ depending on the stock size. The hygiene room is usually located in the entrance area of the stall building. In general, stalls should only be entered wearing the operation's own protective clothing and protective boots.
It is important to wash sows in a mild and caring pH-neutral animal washing agent with good cleaning power for the removal of inorganic and organic contaminants.
Both feed remains and the biofilm that forms on the inner walls of water lines from multi-vitamin and drug residues must be eliminated.
Proper cleaning emulsifies fats, soaks protein residues, dislodges soaked dirt particles and keeps the dislodged dirt in suspended form. Insects, endoparasites and ectoparasites and their eggs and larvae also lose their natural adhesion and can be flushed from the stall.
Proper cleaning of exhaust air in the pig pen can save a lot of costs within your operation. The cleaning process is essentially selected based on the operating conditions and requirements.
Tough and sticky slurry leads to scum layers and work-intensive channel obstructions. Therefore, this absolutely must be removed.
Flies spread quickly inside the stall. Among other places, they hatch in the slurry and can easily survive there and spread. Flies are vectors of many pig diseases (e.g. dysentery). During heavy fly infestations, insecticides and larvicides help.
The entire surroundings of the silo must be kept clean. The silos must be cleaned and then disinfected from the outside and from the inside. Feed remains must be completely removed to counteract the development of fungi, bacteria and other pests. Before the silos are filled with new feed, they must be completely dried.
The carcass bin should be cooled if possible and should preferably be off the farm premises. The carcass area should be easy to clean and disinfect and should also be lockable. It should be emptied on a regular basis, though at least once a week.
Vehicle cleaning and disinfection including the loading area/ramp should be carried out after each transport.
The immediate surroundings of the building and the premises should be kept free of shrubs, trees and other undergrowth. These draw rodents and (wild) birds in particular. Access to the stall and other approaches to the farm should be secured in such a way that they can be cleaned and disinfected easily and regularly.
Rodents bring numerous pathogens into the stall from outside. Salmonella or dysentery problems as well as animal diseases such as the African swine fever are often causally linked to a high instance of rodents. After stable disinfection, rodent control is to be performed and documented!

Each area in pig fattening requires its own cleaning and disinfection measures. The specific hygiene areas in the daily practice of fattening are illustrated in our diagram as examples.
We also develop a detailed hygiene concept for your production plant and deliver the appropriate product solutions for each area taking individual parameters into consideration.
The health and wellbeing of the sows are the focus of this segment. The production of vital piglets should be guaranteed and food-related diseases should be ruled out. Here, the technical conditions and especially cleaning and disinfection measures play a decisive role.
In piglet breeding, the reproductive output within the sow herd determines profitability. Accordingly, the focus is on maximum quality of the piglets.
