Disinfectant for Safe Poultry Farming
Since October 2025, avian influenza has continued to spread in Germany. According to the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute, the risk of outbreaks in poultry farms is increasing.
For poultry producers, this means: maximum vigilance and consistent biosecurity measures are now essential to protect flocks. Disinfectants play a key role – they break infection chains right at the point of entry.
Without thorough and regular disinfection, even well-intentioned protective measures remain vulnerable.
Why Disinfection Is Crucial
Avian influenza is transmitted through direct contact with infected animals, contaminated objects, water, feed, wild birds, and more. Effective disinfection breaks these chains of infection.
