Cleaning and Disinfection Protocol for Pig Farms Against Porcine Meningitis
Porcine meningitis originates from the Streptococcus suis bacterium. With this content, Biocidas ZIX aims to provide a cleaning and disinfection protocol for pig farms that ensures cleaner facilities and helps prevent the incidence of the bacteria responsible for the disease.
Streptococcus suis is an endemic pathogen on pig farms, making it essential to reduce its presence in the environment to minimize the occurrence of this pathology. We are facing a complex and increasingly significant pathogen that remains poorly controlled—especially with the current restrictions on the preventive use of antibiotics in livestock production.
Cleaning and Disinfection Protocol
At Biocidas ZIX, we emphasize the importance of proper cleaning and disinfection to reduce the incidence of meningitis in pig farms.
Therefore, we propose the following protocol:
- Proper cleaning and disinfection of the farrowing room
- Good drying of the piglets
CleanZIX Foam
• FARROWING ROOM CLEANING
» Makes cleaning visible
» Excellent adhesion
» Deep cleaning through foam layers
» For sustainable biosecurity
Zix Virox
• FARROWING ROOM DISINFECTION
» Biodegradable
» Effective biocide and descaler
» Maximum efficacy at low dosages
» For sustainable biosecurity
Litazix
• PIGLET DRYING
» High drying power
» Promotes animal comfort
By following these steps, sows will enter a clean and disinfected farrowing room, where the microbial load transferred to their piglets will be lower, reducing the risk of developing the disease.
Biosecurity is presented as an essential tool to fight diseases while reducing the use of antibiotics.
