|  Over the last two years AFS Animal Care has more than doubled its sales of disinfectants and hygiene products. This has been achieved by ensuring that farms use the most effective hygiene systems and controls as well as the most relevant disinfectants and cleaning materials for a particular job.
In livestock production, good animal husbandry and high crop yields can only be delivered through controlled farming techniques including the highest standards of hygiene to minimise contamination. Broiler houses, pig farms and other livestock buildings are naturally dirty environments, and coupled with the intensity of modern farming, are ideal breeding grounds for disease causing micro-organisms, insects and pests. It is important effective hygiene controls against a wide variety of micro-organisms, insects and vermin are utilised.
AFS Animal Care's new direction has centred on the launch and development of Bio-System 3000. This comprehensive hygiene system involves the provision of thorough clean down protocols, the availability of a comprehensive range of disinfectant types, and the highest standards of quality control audits. As a result our customers are able to meet the highest demands of regulatory and industry standards and feel confident of protection against disease provided by AFS's products and its support services.
Bio-System 3000 protocols are unique, as they are the only protocols that offer manufacturer independent generic specifications for all the hygiene and disinfectant products required to maintain the highest standards of animal husbandry. Each protocol provides a methodical approach to farm hygiene covering step by step documented operating procedures.
The National Farm Hygiene Audit and Training Programme introduces an  independent quality control mechanism to the Bio-System 3000 process. This straightforward but thorough control mechanism involves AFS carrying out hygiene audits including microbiological swabs. It provides controls on what products are used, whether they have been applied effectively and highlight shortfalls or problems at the important clean down stage prior to restocking. The aim is to increase hygiene standards and avoid the blame culture. The audits are provided free of charge as a commitment to the company's partnership with its customers to fight disease.
At the heart of AFS Animal Care is our concept of the 'Consumer Circle of Confidence'.
This 'Health and Safety Chain' can be likened to a partnership between hygiene product manufacturers and distributors, farmers and food producers, retail distribution companies, veterinary services, government legislation and the consumer.
