Description of the measure
Optimised hygiene in the barn, the pasture and in the feeding and drinking area reduces the extension of (new) pathogens
Comments on sustainability
Due to higher temperatures (new) warmth loving pathogens such as salmonellae, E.coli and parasites on the pasture are spreading faster. An optimized hygiene supports healthy and productive animals. This reduces the need for the veterinarian and for medicine.
