| | | | | | | Biosecurity | Footwear disinfection is essential to: Reducing risk of infection and cross-infection in animal houses and between farms. Footbaths and Tread mats are well-established and recognised as a biosecurity measure in many industries, especially in high health status poultry and swine farming. | | | | In practice many footbaths may offer little real protection. | | Organic matter will inactivate all disinfectants | | | | Odd containers make dilutions hard to calculate | | | | Rain dilutes; Sun and heat disables the disinfectant efficacy | | | | Treadmats easily dry out, dilute in rain and are heavy to handle and clean | | | No current system provides easy options to audit the use of disinfectants. | | | | | FootCHECK footbath is a registered design, developed as a practical solution. Made in HDPE, with UV protective additive, designed and constructed for durability and easy cleaning. Suitable for both concentrated liquids and powder formulations. Accurate for 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 2.5%, 3% and 4% dilutions. | | | Measuring chambers: Disinfectant poured direct from container, ensures correct dilution, minimises waste. | | Panel: for a peelable sticker for simple auditing of contents and frequency of changes | | Calibrated fill level: Ensure precise dilution to avoid excessive use of expensive concentrate | | Foot rub bars: For improved user safety and foot sole cleansing. | | Lid: prevents contamination, dilution by rain and evaporation | | FootCHECK, an essential biosecurity procedure to prevent entry of infections. | | | | |
