Research Progress on Ultraviolet Disinfection Technology in Swine Farms
Biosafety has always been a focus concerned during the development of swine industry,especially ultraviolet(UV)disinfection technology due to its high efficiency,low cost and high safety,and some results have been achieved. However,the technology could not fully inactivate pathogens sometimes,so its effect was mostly concerned during the work of UV disinfection. In the paper,the factors affecting the effect of UV disinfection,its dose required to inactivate common swine pathogens and its application in swine farms were discussed. Meanwhile,the gaps available in its development were summarized and considered with a view to providing some references to improve the effect and efficiency of UV disinfection in swine farms.
