Farm Disinfection and Preventing Winter Freezes: Challenges and Solutions
Farm disinfection may seem simple, but it involves careful consideration of various factors. In winter, plummeting temperatures lead to freezing water in disinfectors. Summer's high heat poses its own set of challenges. Cleaning the lengthy pipes after disinfection is also no easy task. With farms growing larger due to rising production costs, the intricacies of disinfection are becoming increasingly complex.
Introducing the Farm Disinfector and Preventing Winter Freezes
Here are several methods I employ for effective disinfection:
1. Engine-Powered Machine
Utilizing an engine-powered machine is one approach. Placing a water-filled bucket and an engine on a truck enables disinfection. However, the driver should exercise caution, maintaining a safe pace and avoiding sudden maneuvers.

2. SS Machine
The SS machine, capable of spraying medicine in orchards, proves highly efficient. Nonetheless, since the driver's seat is open, protective measures like a cover, raincoat, and safety glasses are essential. This machine serves well for disinfecting chicken houses as well, delivering outstanding results.

Preventing Freezing in Winter
Storing the disinfectant in a shed during winter often results in freezing. Similar to chicken houses, constructing a building that minimizes winter damage becomes imperative. Adequate insulation or temperature adjustments are key to preventing freezing. Personally, I store at-risk items in my small chicken house, benefiting from its coolness in summer and insulation in winter.
Disinfection is a Continuous Effort
Regardless of the season, continuous improvement in disinfection methods is crucial for enhanced effectiveness. With proper strategies, farm disinfection can overcome seasonal challenges and provide optimal results.
