Description
There are many products available for poultry keepers and being conscious of the environment we have always recommended the more natural products available, steering away from the unnecessary use of harsh chemicals. This we continue to do and our main recommended products for day-to-day cleaning can be found listed on our website. However, there is a place for stronger disinfectants and periodically you should give the poultry house a thorough clean with a virucidal disinfectant, especially during times of enhanced biosecurity for Avian Influenza controls or as required when specific Defra control zones are in place.
