CLEANING BEFORE DISINFECTION Welcome back to our web series on Bio security. Today we're diving into a critical topic: the importance of cleaning before disinfection. This is a step that many overlook. Why Cleaning Comes First Before you start disinfecting your livestock houses, it's essential to understand why cleaning is the necessary first step. Here's why: 1. Removal of Dirt: Livestock houses accumulate a lot of visible dirt, dust, and waste which shields harmful microorganisms, reducing disinfectants effectiveness. 2. Reduction of Microbial Load: Cleaning reduces the number of microorganisms on surfaces making it easy for disinfectants to work more efficiently in eliminating any remaining pathogens. 3. Improved Disinfectant Efficiency: Disinfectants are designed to work best on clean surfaces. Cleaning allows the disinfectant to penetrate more effectively. 4. Prevention of Biofilm Formation: Regular cleaning prevents the formation of biofilms, which are resistant to disinfectants and can be a breeding ground for disease Cleaning before disinfection might seem like an extra step, but it's a crucial part of maintaining a healthy and productive livestock farm. By removing dirt and reducing the microbial load, you ensure that your disinfection process is as effective as possible.
