BioSecurity Wash Systems
Bird Flu is back in the US – are you taking steps to protect your farm?
Viruses such as HPAI and swine fever have the ability to devastate the industry, regardless of whether a facility is directly impacted by positive cases.
In a report from the USDA, it was shown that “disease events can impact related industries even if the disease has no direct effect.” This places a soaring demand on implementing superior protection measures. We depend on transportation vehicles and need them to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected against what could be an extremely expensive loss.
Transportation fleets that don’t follow a stringent cleaning process could play a direct role in furthering outbreaks, leading to trade restrictions and loss of income across all facilities. Proper biosecurity systems in place help prevent the spread of disease and shorten the length of time disease is spread.
With the return of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), it’s more important than ever to increase your biosecurity practices through fleet washing.

In recent years, there have been significant challenges in containing the spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), commonly known as bird flu. The consequences of outbreaks have been devastating for the poultry industry, with millions of birds culled to curb the spread of the virus. However, the threat has evolved. HPAI now affects dairy herds across state lines, demanding swift and effective measures to safeguard farms.
In our ongoing effort to distribute vital information, we’ve collaborated with Feed & Grain to share additional insights and have also recorded a podcast to reach as many ears as possible.
Enhancing Biosecurity Protocols
Biosecurity wash systems are an effective solution for mitigating the spread of disease and since the 2014 HPAI outbreak, we’ve installed dozens of systems across numerous states. In these systems, all vehicles are covered completely, from the tops and sides to the undercarriage, using an EPA-approved sanitizer before being able to access the facility. From a full wash to a sanitizer only, our systems offer a comprehensive approach to vehicle sanitation, with each system capable of running over 150 cycles a day.
Learn how a well-planned facility layout can significantly enhance biosecurity. This blog covers the critical structural and operational measures needed to protect your livestock and property from disease, including traffic control, and one-way systems to mitigate contamination risks. Check out detailed layouts and guidelines to implement effective biosecurity practices in your operations. Read more in our blog on Biosecurity Facility Layouts.
During the early stages of this bird flu outbreak, this 2022 blog explores the critical need for stringent biosecurity measures in the poultry industry. It emphasizes the role of automated fleet washing systems in preventing disease transmission. Learn about the essential steps for cleaning and disinfecting transportation vehicles to protect against highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Stay informed on how to enhance biosecurity practices to safeguard your flocks and facilities. Read more in our detailed post on The Return of Bird Flu and Fleet Washing.
Increase the protection for your farm and fleet and reduce the threat of transmissible diseases
Here’s how you can reduce the threat of transmissible diseases including highly pathogenic avian influzena (bird flu), swine flu, and other biosecurity issues.
Our fleet biosecurity system will thoroughly clean the undercarriage, wheels, chassis, tractor and trailer of the vehicles and then thoroughly apply a sanitizer to the sides and undercarriage of the vehicle. A typical full wash costs approximately $5.00 -$10.00 and a sanitary wash costs less than $2.00. Our sanitizer is registered and has been used in our automated agricultural wash systems for years.
All parts of the truck are covered with sanitizer including the undercarriage and rear.
