HYGIENOGRAMS FOR THE EVALUATION OF CLEANING AND DISINFECTION PROTOCOLS IN PIG FACILITIES

摘要

Cleaning and disinfection (C&D) is well established in the daily routine of the Belgian pig herds. Nevertheless, correct application of C&D protocols is not evident. The use of hygienograms to control C&D protocols on pig farms - as already widely accepted in poultry (1) - should be promoted. Therefore, a study was conducted by Animal Health Care Flanders and CID Lines to evaluate a hygienogram scoring system following C&D according to the farmers' routine procedures and a protocol as prescribed by CID Lines.
