Why is the use of a disinfection arch important at the entrance to farms?

The use of disinfection arches allows for improved biosecurity on livestock farms. It is an essential element within the strategy to guarantee the protection of farms against the entry of external pathogens.

How should I maintain a disinfectant footbath?

Footbaths should always maintain adequate levels of disinfectant in good condition and at the appropriate concentration.

It is essential to keep them clean of dirt and renew the disinfectants after the usage time indicated by the manufacturer.
Keep footbaths protected from rain and sunlight to prevent loss of the product's disinfecting capacity.

A dirty footbath, exposed to the elements and filled with an improperly renewed disinfectant product, will not work as a biosecurity measure.
