Can a powerful disinfecting program prevent the disease?
Coccidia oocysts are resistant to many disinfectants, although procedures such as cleaning pens properly with high-pressure hot water (>70 C) and keeping them dry during the first weeks of farrowing will help reduce the number of oocysts. Disinfection in farrowing houses is essential to reducing infection pressure on newborn piglets, but it is not enough to control the problem entirely.
