because the efficacy of certain disinfectants is
long storage decreases
D) the choice of disinfectants, insecticides and of procedures for disinfection and disinfestation
must match the type of premises, vehicles and objects
to be treated,
E) conditions for the use of detergents, disinfectants and insecticides
must ensure not to reduce their
efficiency; in particular, they must be respected
technical parameters indicated by the manufacturer, such as pressure, minimum temperature and required contact time,
F) irrespective of the kind used disinfectant must be applied
following general rules
First thorough soaking of bedding and faeces disinfectant
Second washing and cleaning floors, ramps and walls thorough scrubbing, if possible
after the removal or dismantling of equipment or wiring that could
reduce the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection
Third subsequent re-use disinfectant for at least
action specified in the manufacturer's recommendations

required by the provisions of this decree must be documented in the records of the farm or transport
device; if required official approval has to be cleaning, disinfection and disinfestation
certified by the supervising official veterinarian
doctor.

prevent or reduce the spread of African swine fever virus;
these measures include inter alia the establishment of temporary disinfection equipment, providing
protective clothing, showers, decontamination of used equipment, instruments and equipment
and interruption of power supply to the ventilation

means
Third if the carcasses are transported from the holding for processing, must be used
covered and leak proof containers
Fourth Immediately after the removal of carcasses of pigs for processing must be part
holding in which the animals were housed and parts of other buildings,
yards etc. contaminated during the killing or examination after the killing,
sprayed with disinfectants approved in accordance with § 12
Fifth remnants of tissue or blood generated during slaughter or during the inspection bodies
after the defeat of debris or large buildings, paddocks, to utilities etc.
must be carefully collected and processed together with bodies

Příl.3
INSTRUCTIONS vector search
First This must be done to find vectors in the living quarters and rest
pigs and around these places. Vectors can generally be found in
old buildings in shaded areas with favorable temperature and humidity
. The best results are obtained when the vector search
takes place in late spring, summer and early autumn, a period when
vectors are most active.
Second They should be used two methods
A) search for vectors in soil, sand or dust from the spaces between stones
(in the case of buildings made of stone) from gaps or cracks in the walls
under the tiles or from the floor, obtained using a brush or
other suitable equipment. Clay and sand should be sifted
if necessary. To find the young nymphs can use a magnifying glass,
B) vector search using traps carbon dioxide (CO2).
Traps must be (preferably at night) for a few hours placed in stables
pigs; otherwise the traps are deployed in shaded places outside the daily
light. Traps should be constructed so that the vector
get close enough to the CO2 source and could not escape from the trap.
