The document provides a plan for cleaning and disinfection in a poultry shed. It outlines establishing a plan with dates, times, labor and equipment needed. It discusses removing old litter, dry cleaning to sweep off loose dirt, and wet cleaning. Disinfection involves using chemicals like phenols, iodophors, formaldehydes and chlorine to kill pathogens, bacteria and viruses. The overall process cleans and disinfects the poultry shed between flocks to remove waste, microbes and ammonia gas to reduce disease transmission.
