On-board disinfection on trucks and automatic disinfection ramp as biosecurity measures.

Implementing vehicle and truck disinfection upon entry  to  a  farming  site,  using  an  on-board disinfection system and/or an automatic disinfection ramp, are highly effective measures in fighting Avian Influenza and other infectious diseases in poultry farming. This practice ensures the thorough removal of external contaminants, including pathogens, from the surfaces of broiler-transport trucks and other vehicles, significantly reducing the risk of pathogens transmission. Indeed, broiler-transport trucks are not always consistently washed and disinfected prior to  their  entrance  in  a  farming  site,  which  is nonetheless crucial for minimizing disease spread. Implementing  disinfection  measures  significantly reduces the risk of pathogen transmission, helping to safeguard the health of the broiler flock, especially during sensitive operations such as thinning or the removal of females.
