Using disinfection products less and better in the poultry and fish sectors
Résumé
Disinfectants are essential for sanitary control. Nevertheless, their handling can be the cause of one-off accidents or chronic effects on human health if prevention and/or protection measures are not taken. The survey carried out in the ADAPT project among 108 companies (hatcheries, slaughterhouses, chicken and duck farms, fish farms) emphasises that a significant proportion of situations involves a high health risk, particularly for poultry and fish farmers. The implementation of prevention strategies should therefore be prioritised for the livestock sector, especially as awareness, information and training are less sustained there (smaller group of workers per company, more difficult to mobilise farmers on these subjects, etc.). The professionalization of farmers in terms of good practices for handling equipment (especially foam guns, which are most commonly used) and products (protection of the eyes, skin, respiratory tract, ventilation of the premises, etc.) must be reinforced in order to protect their health, the health of consumers and the environment, but also to guarantee the efficacy of disinfection. The use of alternatives or complementary methods making possible to use less disinfectant has been explored in the project: the use of barrier flora or enzymatic detergents seems to be a promising complementary method.
