The biosecurity on-farm is now more than ever a key factor in ensuring animal health, productivity and sustainability of the farming business. Whether it is a pig fattening farm or a piglet farm, prevention is the most effective tool to reduce health risks and avoid economic losses.
At Porinox it is clear to us: biosafety starts with access.
And the fact is that people and vehicles are the main pathways for pathogens to enter farms. Therefore, implementing control measures from the first point of contact with the farm makes the difference between a protected and a vulnerable farm.
People access control: sanitary locker rooms and more
Every time a worker, veterinarian or visitor enters the farm, there is a possibility that they may carry bacteria or viruses on their clothing or footwear. To minimise that risk, it is essential to have a clean-dirty circuit which requires a change of attire and hygiene before access to the halls of pigs.
At Porinox we design sanitary dressing rooms adapted to the needs of each farm:
- Closed circuitSeparate the clean area from the dirty area by means of an obligatory shower.
- Materials : porpanel, sandwich panel and stainless steel (304), resistant to humidity, easy to clean and durable against intensive use.
- Equipped spaces with: benches, ventilated lockers and hygiene areas designed to facilitate the daily routine of staff.
But we go further: our solutions include wicket gates that ensure a controlled flow in and out, preventing unauthorised access, and stainless steel boot hangers that keep footwear tidy and off the floor when not in use, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Each of our changing rooms is delivered fully equipped with the elements and accessories that comply with the biosecurity regulations of Royal Decree 306/2020 of the pig sector so that the personnel have access in suitable hygienic conditions and the farm maintains a safe environment for the animals.
Vehicle access control: Disinfection archway
Transport trucks - whether for feed, animals or materials - are one of the biggest contamination risks. If they are not properly disinfected, they can carry biological residues from other farms and endanger the health of the whole farm.
To avoid this, at Porinox we have developed a disinfection arc vehicle protection that acts quickly and efficiently:
- Total spraying from the top to the base of the truck.
- Uniform coverage on all surfaces, even in hard-to-reach areas.
- Easy integration in the daily workflow, without slowing down farm operations.
This system ensures that each vehicle entering the farm undergoes a comprehensive cleaning and disinfection process, minimising the risk of introducing pathogens.
Pig farm cleaning as an essential routine
In addition to access control, the cleaning of pig farms is a routine that must not be neglected. Proper disinfection of rooms, pens and equipment prevents accumulation of dirt, organic debris and bacterial growth. The combination of:
- Sanitary locker rooms y wicket gates,
- Bootstrap to keep footwear in order,
- Disinfection arches of vehicles, and
- Regular cleaning protocols in the halls,
creates a comprehensive biosecurity shield that protects the health of animals at all stages: piglets, fattening and maternity.
Biosecurity: investing in productivity and welfare
Implementing biosecurity measures is not an expense, it is an investment. A disease outbreak in a broiler house can lead to huge economic losses, whereas a good preventive protocol offers peace of mind, animal welfare and long-term stability.
At Porinox we have spent years developing stainless steel solutions designed to resist, facilitate cleaning and adapt to the reality of the pig industry. Because we believe that farm biosecurity starts in the details: from the first drop of water to the last controlled access.
👉 With Porinox sanitary locker rooms, pedestrian doors, boot racks and disinfection arches, your operation takes the first step towards a safe, hygienic and bacteria-free environment.
