Why Ecolab?

Disease Prevention Through Biosecurity

Farm diseases can be highly contagious, fast spreading and deadly. If your farm is exposed to a high-risk disease such as African swine fever, avian influenza or mastitis, it can put your entire operation at risk.

Ecolab has biosecurity experts who specialize in disease prevention. We can help you reduce the risk of introduction and spread of pathogens on your farm, which increases animal health, reduces the need for antibiotics and increases meat production.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Cleaning and disinfection are the driving forces behind biosecurity. They help you build a robust, sustainable biosecurity program that serves your animals and your profit. However, a crucial part of cleaning and disinfection is not just doing it but doing it well.

Ecolab is an industry leader in cleaning and disinfection. We offer high-quality, science-based chemistry and protocols that are used worldwide and can help your animals and your farm thrive.

Water System Management

The fastest way a pathogen can spread on a farm is through the drinking water. In addition to affecting individual animals, diseases in water can be easily transmitted among the entire herd or flock, not only affecting their health and immunity but also their milk or meat production.

When you partner with Ecolab, you benefit from our expertise and experience with farm animal drinking water. We’re here to help you maximize animal health and farm production through high-quality water management and treatment.

Innovations

African Swine Fever

African swine fever (ASF) is a deadly viral disease. There is no cure or vaccine, making it a significant threat to pig farmers. The virus clings to clothing and survives in animal feed and water, requiring specific cleaning products and protocols.

Avian Influenza

Avian influenza is a highly contagious, viral disease affecting food-producing birds. Preventing and controlling avian influenza requires a biosecurity program with detailed measures for entrance, transport and barn hygiene.

Mastitis

Mastitis is an infectious disease causing an inflammatory reaction in the mammary gland of a cow. It is the most common disease in dairy cattle and has significant economic consequences and requires a rigorous teat hygiene routine.
