Procedures for the use of disinfectants in veterinary farms
Disinfectants for veterinary farms are an important tool used to prevent and control the spread of germs and diseases in farms. The following will introduce the steps of using disinfectants in veterinary farms to help farmers understand how to carry out disinfection correctly and effectively.
Step 1: Choose the right disinfectant.
When choosing a disinfectant, the right product should be selected according to the specific situation and needs of the farm. Common disinfectants include chlorides, peroxides, aldehydes, etc. Different disinfectants have different killing effects on different pathogens, so it is important to choose the right disinfectant.
Step 2: Prepare the disinfectant.
Mix the disinfectant with water in the correct ratio according to the disinfectant's instructions. In general, the ratio of disinfectant to water is 1:100-1:200, and the specific ratio can be adjusted according to the description of the product. During preparation, personal protection should be taken and direct contact with disinfectants should be avoided.
Step 3: Clean the farm.
Before using disinfectants, the farm must first be cleaned. Remove manure, foreign objects and waste from the farm to ensure that the site is clean and tidy. Cleaning can be done by spraying detergent or using a high-pressure water gun.
Step 4: Spray with disinfectant.
Spray the prepared disinfectant evenly on all corners and surfaces of the farm. For different breeding facilities, targeted spraying should be carried out according to their characteristics. For example, in the case of animal feeding troughs and water troughs, ensure adequate coverage of disinfectant and maintain a certain amount of contact time.
Step 5: Wait for the sterilization time.
According to the instructions of the disinfectant, wait for the appropriate time to ensure that the disinfectant is fully effective. Different disinfectants have different sterilization time requirements, generally 10-30 minutes. While waiting, animals should be prohibited from entering the farm.
Step 6: Rinse and clean.
After the disinfectant has fully functioned, the farm is rinsed and cleaned with clean water. Make sure to rinse off any remaining disinfectants and biocides to avoid adverse effects on animals and the environment.
Step 7: Ventilation and drying.
After rinsing and cleaning, the farm should be fully ventilated to dry quickly. A dry environment helps to maintain the hygiene of the farm and reduces the breeding of pathogens.
The above are the basic steps for the use of disinfectants in veterinary farms. To ensure the effectiveness of disinfection, farmers should pay attention to choosing the right disinfectant, preparing the disinfectant in the correct proportion, cleaning the farm thoroughly, spraying the disinfectant, waiting for the sterilization time, rinsing and cleaning, and ventilating and drying. Through the correct disinfection operation, the spread of germs and diseases in the farm can be effectively controlled, and the development of the aquaculture industry can be provided with strong support.
