Prevention is vital in keeping farm animals healthy and resilient.
As your trusted partner, CID LINES, An Ecolab Company is by your side to care, to help, to support and to advise you on biosecurity and how it can improve the health of both your animals and your business.
WHAT IS BIOSECURITY?...FROM DISEASE MANAGEMENT TO PREVENTION
Biosecurity is the complete set of measures put together to prevent the introduction of harmful organisms (like viruses, bacteria, etc.) in order to minimize the risk of introduction, transmission and spreading of infectious disease.
Biosecurity measures , like cleaning and disinfecting, prevent new diseases and control existing diseases.
OUR BIOSECURITY EXPERTS HAVE COMPILED TOOLS TO HELP YOU IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF BOTH YOUR ANIMALS AND YOUR BUSINESS
CID LINES, An Ecolab Company is by your side with products, solutions and best practices. We want to move, as a sector, from curative to preventive health Management.
CLEANING THE POULTRY HOUSE
When the animals are moved out of the poultry house, it is time to start the cleaning protocol. The sooner you start the better. Manure must be removed as soon as possible. The longer a cleaned and disinfected poultry house is left dry before the animals enter, the better. But some microorganisms can survive up to 60 days in a dry environment! Cleaning before disinfecting is a must as remains of organic dirt cannot be disinfected.
Our solutions
Removing this organic dirt should be done in the easiest and fastest way. That’s why CID LINES, An Ecolab Company has developed a range of alkaline and acid cleaners which prove their benefits – including superior efficacy and time saving properties – daily on many poultry farms worldwide.
Detergent action mode
Foaming detergent contains surfactants, molecules with a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. The hydrophobic tail is attracted to the dirt and attaches to it. The hydrophilic head is attracted to the water and starts to pull the dirt away from the surface. The dirt particle is surrounded by the detergent that breaks it down into small particles.
EXTERNAL BIOSECURITY
The cleaning and disinfecting principles used inside the farm also apply outside. Ensure appropriate protocols for external areas and carcass bins. Ensure personal hygiene for diseases transmitted by humans (shower, clothing, hand hygiene, boot hygiene) and transport.
PERSONAL HYGIENE
Boot, hand and clothing hygiene are probably the fastest, most simple and cheapest ways to prevent the spread of pathogens and yet they are the most overlooked. Simply cleaning and disinfecting footwear and sanitizing hands with anti-bactericidal hand soap is a quantum leap towards animal health and safety.
Biosecurity not only allows the safeguarding of animal health but it also reduces antibiotics use. In terms of prophylaxis, biosecurity is a more reliable solution than antibiotics, in most cases.
How could we reduce the use of antibiotics while at the same time safeguarding animal health and guaranteeing production results? By focusing on disease prevention through improved biosecurity. If we maximize the efforts to avoid animals getting into contact with pathogens, we will be able to minimize the risk of animals getting ill and needing treatment.

Biosecurity is and should be the basis of any disease control program. If you have a good biosecurity to begin with, disease prevention through vaccination or other applications will be more successful, resulting in a minimal need for curative treatments. For any disease coming from bacteria, viruses, yeast, fungi or parasites, the appropriate biosecurity measures, hygiene procedures and product protocols ensure successful disease control.
