Controlling a disease means that its severity is reduced and the impact on the farm is minimised. Prevention means that diseases never appear on your farm.

The best way of preventing disease is to set up full bio-safety programmes.

Disinfection is a very important process within a bio-safety programme, and the law stresses the need for disinfection as a preventive measure. For the measures to be really effective, they must be carried out correctly, and a hygiene protocol designed that will show which product to use, and where, how and when to apply it.

The control of drinking water is a critical point within bio-safety management on farms. Correct management of drinking water brings an improvement in production, but, in general, not enough importance is placed on it. Water is a vital part of food intake and a carrier of disease.
