N&D Biosafety

Cleaning and disinfection

Due to the increased risks related to Avian Influenza, African Swine Fever and Salmonella, biosecurity in animal nutrition has become a priority.

  • Avian flu outbreaks, now present throughout France, have a considerable economic, safety, and environmental impact on the industry.
  • Transportation is identified as a potential source of contamination for factories and farms.

1. Protecting the food chain

  • Control of truck exterior washing and disinfection operations at factories and farms through qualification of disinfection effectiveness.

2. Ensuring employee safety

  • Improved working conditions.
  • Better management of biocides (highly corrosive) during disinfection handling.

3. Preserving the environment

  • Controlled and measured use of water and disinfectants.

Design and manufacturing in our workshops

Our approach

In 2022, we supported the agri-food sector, severely affected by avian flu in Pays de la Loire and Brittany.

In collaboration with SANDERS, we developed a biosafety station prototype designed to clean and then disinfect transport vehicles, identified as major vectors for virus spread.

The implementation and use of this prototype, directly at the factory and subjected to real field conditions, allowed us to benefit from solid feedback and improve the design to adapt to users’ actual needs.

With the sector and accompanied by a specialized laboratory, we participated in a testing campaign lasting over 3 years, nearly 750 tests in the laboratory and more than double in real conditions, targeting both bacteriological study during the washing process and material reaction to disinfection products. This allowed us to establish a clear and functional protocol aimed at effectively disinfecting feed or animal transport vehicles.
The finding is clear: disinfection depends on proper washing with compliance to dwell times per axle.

Manual spraying

4.5L of TH5 biocide at 1% to spray on the vehicle for 8 minutes,
2 to 6 times per day.
Reduction of 0 to 0.35 log cfu/g
NO DEMONSTRATED EFFECTIVENESS

Identified risk areas

750 tests

conducted to validate the best process

All this research and these meetings have enabled us to better understand the need to wash, particularly the inside of the mudguards and undercarriage, sources of microbial contamination (bacterial and viral). This is why we embarked on creating a suitable product.

3 years of testing under real conditions

Identification of dirt traps and target areas

Implementation of a surrogate coupon testing protocol

Effectiveness and repeatability measurement

Results interpretation and cleaning protocol qualification

Who are we?

N&D Biosafety, a brand of Servi Loire, develops biosafety stations specially designed to disinfect truck wheels, fenders, and undercarriages when entering or leaving agri-food and slaughter facilities.

These biosafety stations represent a critical solution to address health issues by effectively eliminating viruses and bacteria present on vehicles, such as avian flu viruses, swine flu, and salmonella.
Furthermore, these stations, combined with wheel washers for optimal effectiveness, offer a comprehensive and integrated approach to maintaining a safe and hygienic environment.

Manufacturer and distributor

Marketed under the N&D Biosafety brand, our biosafety stations are designed and manufactured by Servi-Loire, a French company based in Ancenis (44), near Nantes.
