The agricultural industry requires a dry, safe, and clean environment to keep down the spread of disease particularly during livestock transport. Clean, dry heat is a safe, economical, and efficient method of achieving this environment.
Animal Challenges
Animal transportation and holding pens can often carry and transmit disease from one animal to another.Past efforts to sterilize trailers have included chemicals and steam cleaning. But chemical use is more closely regulated nowadays, and many pig farmers are moving to high-margin organic pork, which precludes the use of non-organic chemical cleaning agents.
Steam cleaning initially does sterilize a pig trailer. But it also leaves behind a hot, moist environment which encourages the next batch of pigs to grow more disease, further risking animals' health.
