Then use disinfectant to disinfect, spraying comprehensively inside the pig pen, and wait until the items in the pen gradually dry. Then put the equipment back in its original position for installation, and then disinfect it thoroughly. Disinfectants can use caustic soda, Weike, peracetic acid and other items. After completing the disinfection work, open the vents, doors and windows, and let the empty pig pen ventilate for about a week to let the chemicals disperse.

First, close the opened doors, windows, vents, etc. tightly to avoid air leakage, and seal the pig pen well. If there are any air leaks, repair them promptly. Then mix formalin, potassium permanganate and water together and fumigate for about a whole day. Then open the doors and windows to ventilate for a day to remove the fumigation gas, and only after there is no peculiar smell can the pigs be put into the pig pen.
