Special Broiler House Disinfection Programme
For ongoing bacteria and virus problems
The perfect disinfection programme for the effective treatment and removal of ongoing bacteria and virus problems within a broiler house setting using Hysolv products.
Disinfection is a vital part of creating a biosecure environment for your animals and for you, not only by eliminating the viral bacteria and fungal disease-causing microorganisms, but also by creating an ongoing ‘safety’ cycle against these unseen threats.
To help keep this cleaning process clear, we have divided it up into different stages for you to go through, once you have thoroughly completed one stage you can then move onto the next. Please ensure for maximum effectiveness, that you are following the protocol provided exactly.
Deviation from the given plan may provide less than optimum results.
Please ensure you follow all the safety guidelines advised on the chemicals, wear protective clothing including goggles if required.
In the poultry industry it is paramount that any disease is effectively wiped out quickly and efficiently. Avoid the financial loss from dead or sickly birds, take advantage of Hysolv’s cost-effective product line and protocol and avoid the need for expensive disease control measures such as vaccinations and antibiotic therapies.

PRE-CLEAN LITTER BEETLE TREATMENT (OPTIONAL)
IF HOUSE STILL ‘WARM’ AFTER CATCHING.
BAND-SPRAY the walls of the building with CBM8 MV every cycle, 1 metre above the litter line to kill retreating beetles. (1.5% – 2%)
IF HOUSE ‘COOLED’.
SPRAY the roof space with an orchard sprayer (1.5% – 2%), or
FOG CBM8 MV every 2 – 3 cycles.
COLD FOG – 150 – 200ml per 10 litres water (+ fogging agent optional)/1,000m2, or
THERMAL FOG using 200ml/1,000m2.
2
DRY-CLEAN
2.1 – Empty and raise feeders and drinkers
2.2 – Remove all equipment, litter, dung, dust and dirt.
3
CLEANING AND WATER SANITISATION
3.1 – Fill the water system with AQUASTERIL/INTERQUADES using a 2% solution, open the taps at the ends of the water lines to ensure they fill completely. Once the lines are full, close the ends of the pipes and sweep the waterline nipples with a broom to activate them.
If the water system is circulated, leave the sanitiser to circulate for at least 6 hours. If the pipes are non-circulating, leave the sanitiser to work for 24 – 72 hours.
Once the water system has been sanitized, empty the system and flush through with clean water.
Leave to dry.
3.2 – Apply ALKALIENE BLUE to shed surfaces and equipment through a foaming lance at low pressure at a dilution of 1% – 2.5% (1:100 – 1:40) and leave for 30 mins, then power wash shed surfaces and outside concrete apron with water under high pressure.
3.3 – Remove any pools of water from the floor and allow the shed to dry.
4
DISINFECTION
4.1 – Close doors and vents, then disinfect shed, equipment and concrete apron using 400ml/m2 for rough/absorbent surfaces and 300ml/m2 for smooth surfaces, using either:
• INTERCID at 2.5% (1:40), or
• INTERSTERIL at 0.2% (1:500) dilution (eco-farm/winter)
4.2 – When the shed has dried and is safe to re-enter, fog the building with INTER-FORMALDEHYDE at 20ml/m2 (+ INTERFOG – Optional).
5
DISINFECTION CONTROL
5.1 – When the building is safe to enter, test the area using TVC swabs, focussing on the litter-line, vents, control room and corridors.
5.2 – If TVC levels are too high, repeat steps 4.1 &/or 4.2. Then retest (step 5.1) until levels are normal.
6
RESTOCKING
6.1 – Re-stock the sheds with litter, movable equipment and replace boot-dips at shed access points.
Fill the bootdips with 2% INTERCID (or 0.5% INTERSTERIL for organic farms).
6.2 – Lower and refill water lines and tun-off end-of-line taps when full.
6.3 – Lower and refill feed lines.
6.4 – Place chick papers.
7
PRE-STOCKING SHED SANITISATION
7.1 – Cover feeders and drinker cups/bells.
7.2 – Thermal fog INTERDES F at a dilution rate of 1:24 (for routine sanitisation) or 1:19 (for intensive sanitisation). Re-enter shed when fog has gone.
8
RESTOCKING AND AFTER-CARE
8.1 – Restock with chicks.
8.2 – Change the disinfectant in bootdips twice a week if using INTERCID at 2%, or daily if using INTERSTERIL at 0.5%.
8.3 – Regularly disinfect service corridors/control rooms etc. with INTERDES F spray at 1.5%.
