A Brief Discussion on the Importance of Cleaning and Disinfection in Swine Disease Control

Release time：2015-05-05

As the swine industry continues to develop, pig farms are expanding in scale, reducing the spacing between farms, and increasing stocking densities within individual farms. At the same time, activities such as the introduction of new breeds further complicate the pathogen profile on farms. A wide array of pathogens—such as viruses and parasites—exist both inside and outside pig farms and in the surrounding areas, and under favorable conditions they can trigger disease in pigs. Therefore, it is essential to prevent the introduction of exogenous pathogens into pig farms and to eliminate pathogens shed by diseased or carrier animals into the external environment, thereby preventing the occurrence of infectious diseases on farms and curbing the spread and escalation of contagious outbreaks. and cleaning It is one of the important measures in veterinary disease prevention and control.

　　Many swine producers are familiar with modern pig house cleaning protocols; however, these protocols are often not implemented correctly, according to research conducted by the Animal Health Care Flanders (DGZ) in Belgium. Monitoring methods that have long been used in the poultry industry can also be applied in swine facilities to assess the effectiveness of cleaning and sanitation measures.

　　Proper cleaning and disinfection (C&D) of pig houses plays a critical role in controlling the occurrence of swine diseases. However, it must be emphasized that C&D protocols in pig houses are often not implemented correctly, thereby posing a significant risk for the development of gastrointestinal, respiratory, and reproductive diseases in pigs. The outbreak of post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) serves as a prime example. Cleaning and disinfection also play an important role in compliance with Salmonella eradication regulations.

　　The effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection measures depends entirely on the proper execution and accuracy of the steps outlined in the C&D protocols. This is precisely why the Belgian healthcare company Cid Lines has developed a hygiene program that incorporates multiple pig housing cleaning procedures.

　　Soak the pig house with water for more than 6 hours to soften and dissolve the dirt. There are two soaking methods: one is to soak before actual cleaning to shorten the cleaning time; the other is to soak after cleaning to enhance the cleaning effect.

　　 To make cleaning a central focus of pig farm management, it is wise for swine producers to regard robust biosecurity measures as an essential, non-negotiable requirement.
