Chicken Hatchery Hygiene
Immaculate hatcheries deliver business results.
Hatchery cleaning and disinfection plays a primary role in keeping out and suppressing pathogenic organisms. Disease-causing elements slipping into the hatchery can be stopped at the door by implementing a poultry hatchery biosecurity program.
Insightful use of effective cleaning and disinfection products and techniques keep unwanted microorganisms from spreading throughout the hatchery without excessive budgetary efforts. In turn, you optimize chick quality and support other hatchery KPIs.

Hatchery Cleaning and Disinfection
The role of a hatchery, as a segment of the poultry production chain, is to produce vital chicks that are free of pathogens.
The goal of hatchery disinfection is to achieve a 99% microbial reduction. The primary focus is avoiding pathogen build-up which, at high levels, can cause serious health problems for animals and substantial economic losses to farmers.
It's important to clean and disinfect each area of the hatchery. Bacteria, viruses and fungi can find a stronghold in spaces small or large. If they do, they can transmit disease by way of people, poultry, transport, vermin or insects.

Biosecurity in Poultry Hatchers
A biosecurity program with established cleaning and disinfection procedures is critical for hatchery hygiene. It minimizes microbiological contamination and the subsequent risk of microbiological contamination in the building, machinery, eggs and poults.
Hatchery detergents that are proven safe for use on equipment and different types of material (copper, aluminium, etc) will be most effective and will help ensure excellent cleaning results.
Having a comprehensive biosecurity program for chicken hatcheries will help reduce the risk of disease and support a profitable farm.
