What this sheet is for

Record cleaning and disinfection properly, with the contact time and rest period that decide whether it achieved anything.

Who it is for

Anyone housing livestock, and anyone in an assurance scheme.

How to use it

  1. Record the disinfectant and its dilution, not just that you disinfected.
  2. Record contact time — most products do nothing if rinsed too soon.
  3. Note the rest period before restocking.
  4. Sign each entry.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Mucking out, disinfection and the rest between batches, dated and signed.

Dilution and contact time come from the label. No cleaning interval and no product is recommended. Disinfectants must be used at their own dilution and contact time, and for notifiable disease your authority specifies which may be used. Write yours down and record against it.

Write-on lines: Holding · Building · Stock housed · Year

Table, 13 rows: Date · Area · Mucked out · Washed down · Disinfectant and dilution · Contact time · Rested until · By · Notes

Questions

How long should a building rest between batches?

It depends what you are trying to break, and your vet is the source. The sheet records what you did rather than prescribing it.
