What this sheet is for

Record the all-in all-out cycle, including the rest period, which is the part that actually breaks a disease cycle.

Who it is for

Pig keepers of any size running batches through the same pens.

How to use it

  1. Record the date the batch came out, not the date you got round to cleaning.
  2. Let pens dry — record dry as a separate thing from washed.
  3. Record the rest period you used and stick to it.
  4. Sign each pen off before restocking.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: The pen cleaning round, with the batch rest that breaks a disease cycle.

The rest period is your vet's figure. All-in, all-out and a proper rest between batches does more for pig health than most things bought in a bottle. How long to rest a pen depends on what you are breaking; your vet is the source.

Questions

What rest period should I leave?

Your vet's figure, not ours. It depends on what is being broken and on the disease history of the unit.
