Disinfection barrier
To protect the
farm against transfer of disease, disinfection is recommended. This includes a
disinfection barrier in front of the total farm area and others before entering
the different production departments on the farm. A simple method is to utilize
a disinfection mat/bath to which a disinfectant is added. The shoes are
disinfected when step-ping into this bath. It is, however, preferable to use a
barrier where the shoes are changed. Having a clean zone, where people only
walk in their socks is a possible solution here (Fig. 21.21). Clothes may also
be changed in this zone. It is advantageous to use different colours for shoes
and working clothes in the different departments. How much sectioning is to be
done into separate departments with prior disinfection will always be a problem
because it is costly, and more time is needed for changing, especially of
clothes
