Vet Ben South says "I would recommend using a lidded plastic container that you can store disinfectant in as a foot dip.

You must use a DEFRA approved disinfectant that has been proven to tackle avian pathogens such as INTERKOKASK.

These disinfectants should also be used at your weekly and monthly clean outs. I would recommend a weekly clean up of faecal matter and contaminated bedding and each month to do a full wash out of the nest boxes and coop."
