Farm disinfection is one of the important measures to prevent and control the spread of animal diseases. In farms, the use of disinfectants is of great significance for disease control, reduction of breeding costs, and food safety. This article will introduce the commonly used disinfectant drugs in farms and their use methods for reference.
Choice of disinfectant.
Selection of disinfectants according to the type of disease: According to the type of disease on the farm, choose the appropriate disinfectant. For example, for bacterial diseases, disinfectants such as iodophor and hydrogen peroxide can be used; For viral diseases, disinfectants such as viral lysate, sodium hydroxide, etc., can be used.
Choose disinfectants according to the type of farmed animal: Different breeds of farmed animals need to use different disinfectants. For example, for animals such as pigs, cattle, and sheep, disinfectants such as compound phenol and iodophor can be used; For chickens, ducks and other birds, disinfectants such as sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide can be used.
Common disinfectants and how to use them.
1.Chlorine disinfectants (e.g., chlorhexidine).
1) How to use: According to the type of disinfection object and the degree of pollution, dilute the appropriate concentration for spray or soak disinfection. It is generally recommended to use a concentration of 05%-1%。
2) Precautions: Avoid contact with sensitive parts such as ** and eyes, so as not to cause irritation and allergic reactions; It is corrosive to metal, and should be kept away from metal products when used.
3) Scope of application: It is suitable for the disinfection of the environment inside and outside the farm, vehicles, utensils, personnel clothing, etc.
2.Acid disinfectants (e.g., hydrogen peroxide).
1) How to use: According to the type of disinfection object and the degree of pollution, dilute the appropriate concentration for spray or soak disinfection. Concentrations of 2%-4% are generally recommended.
2) Precautions: avoid direct sunlight to avoid causing **; Oral administration is prohibited.
3) Scope of application: It is suitable for air disinfection in pig houses, chicken houses, duck houses and other places, and can also be used for disinfection of aquaculture ponds.
3.Aldehyde disinfectants (e.g. formaldehyde).
1) How to use: It is used for soaking or spraying disinfection of the environment and utensils. Concentrations of 2%-4% are generally recommended. Make sure the container is well sealed when soaking to avoid gas leakage.
3) Scope of application: It is suitable for the disinfection of air and appliances in pig houses, chicken houses and other places.
4.Alkaline disinfectants (e.g., sodium hydroxide).
1) How to use: It is used for soaking or spraying disinfection of floors, walls, utensils, etc. It is generally recommended to use a concentration of 2%-5%.
2) Precautions: avoid direct sunlight, so as not to affect the disinfection effect; It is corrosive to metal, and should be kept away from metal products when used. Wear protective gear to avoid burns.
3) Scope of application: It is suitable for disinfection of the ground, walls, utensils, etc. in pig houses, chicken houses and other places.
Precautions when using disinfectants.
When preparing and using, follow the requirements of the manual to avoid operation errors.
Attention should be paid to safety protection, wearing gloves, masks and other protective equipment, and avoiding contact and inhalation of disinfectants.
For different breeded animal species and disease types, appropriate disinfection drugs and concentrations should be selected to ensure the disinfection effect while avoiding adverse effects on animals.
The type of disinfectant should be changed regularly to prevent microbial resistance.
After disinfection, windows should be opened for ventilation in time to maintain air circulation to reduce the pollution of the environment by disinfectants.
Farms should establish a sound disinfection management system to ensure the standardization and sustainability of disinfection work.
In the process of disease prevention and control, the principle of "prevention first, prevention and control combined" should be followed, and the risk of epidemic diseases should be reduced by strengthening feeding management and improving animal immunity.
In conclusion, farm disinfection is one of the important measures to prevent and control the spread of animal diseases. When selecting and using disinfectants, the appropriate disinfectants and concentrations should be selected according to factors such as the type of disease, the type of farmed animals, and the degree of contamination, and the safe, effective and standardized use methods should be followed. At the same time, a sound disinfection management system should be established to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of disinfection work.
