Abstract
Disinfection of animal shed means making them free from disease
producing organisms. An attempt has been made to assess the efficacy of
disinfectants. The study was carried out in three different seasons of the
year in pig fattener facilities and farrowing pen. All the animal facilities
were within the recommended dimensions. Four disinfectants namely,
chlorine dioxide, sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite and cow urine
based disinfectant were used. The efficacy of the disinfectants was found
out by dilution method. In pig fattener sty the efficacy of disinfectants in
descending order were chlorine dioxide, sodium hypochlorite, cow urine
based disinfectant and calcium hypochlorite in all the seasons of the year.
In farrowing pen the order of efficacy of disinfectants were chlorine
dioxide, sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite and cow urine based
disinfectant in all the seasons of the year. Hence, spraying with chlorine
dioxide in swine facilities was found to be effective in all seasons of the
year.
