Why is bio security so important?
Maintaining a bio secure area can prevent transmission of disease and viruses to your hens. Although some viruses are airborne most can be prevented by keeping a clean disinfected area. We recommend using Virkon S, this is a powdered disinfectant that you add to water, please make sure you dilute according to the quantities recommended by the manufacturer so as to kill the right bacteria, viruses.
