Livestock and Fish Farming

The primary goal of modern livestock breeding is maximising productivity and ensuring good animal welfare. Recent painful experience with disease outbreaks have taught us that an effective bio-security programme is of paramount importance for the endurance of breeding farms. Appropriate preventive hygiene measures can dramatically lower the infection pressure on livestock and will pro-actively minimise the risk of a disease outbreak and its spread. The measures must include a high degree of environmental management, good housing hygiene and, most importantly, the stringent control of potential disease carriers such as people, vehicles and farm equipment.

Ecolab’s Livestock Disease Interventions programme has been developed with precisely this coordinated approach to bio-security in mind. The programme provides guidance for the identification and control of possible pathogen vectors, guidance to hygiene regimes that are easy and quick to employ as well as guidance to recommended products for each area of application. The programme, which includes of course our support and expertise, will allow the establishment of an individual bio-security programme on any farm to:

• Reduce infection pressure
• Reduce mortality rates
• Formalize Good Hygiene Practices
• Stop disease at the gate
• Improve farm profits
