Summary in the original language of the document
This leaflet provides ways of optimizing animal hygiene relating to stall design and construction and management practices, provides technical cleaning steps to properly reduce the microbial pressure, lists organic-approved suitable chemical disinfectants as well as alternatives. The leaflet informs reader how pathogens are transmitted and suggests ways to deal with ecto- and endo-parasites. “Prevent instead of treat”, is an important guiding principle for successful hygiene management in organic farming. This leaflet is targeted at organic pig farmers and advisors in German-speaking countries.
