Top 10 Foggers and Disinfectants for Egg-Layer Farms and Egg Grading Plants: Lessons from the Netherlands' Cull of 161,000 Chickens (2025)
The Netherlands culled about 161,000 chickens after bird flu, banned transport within 10 km and ordered all poultry indoors. What should Thai egg-layer farms prepare?
The Real Story from the News: A 10 km Transport Ban
The Poultry Site, citing Reuters, reported on 23 October 2025 that the Netherlands culled about 161,000 chickens after bird flu at a farm in the central-east of the country.
The government banned transport within a 10 km radius, affecting 26 poultry farms, after earlier ordering poultry nationwide to be kept indoors and banning bird shows.
Why Choosing the Right Equipment Matters
Egg farms see egg trucks, egg trays and workers moving in and out daily, which can carry germs into houses. Keeping wild birds out, limiting access, washing and spraying vehicles and trays, and cleaning grading rooms per livestock authority advice form the barrier.

How to Use Them Effectively
- Keep wild birds out of houses, water and feed
- Limit access and log every vehicle
- Wash egg trays and trucks first then spray with the SOLO PORT 423
- Spray roads and house perimeters with the UM4 per livestock advice and label
- Notify livestock officers at once of unusual deaths or sudden egg drops
Before and After Using the Right Equipment
Before: Egg trays circulated between farms unwashed and trucks drove right up to the houses.
After: Wash and spray points for trucks and trays, controlled access and perimeter spraying. The farm has a barrier.
Prefer Not to Do It Yourself? Use a Professional Service
If buying equipment is not practical or the area is too large, use the World Health Disinfection disinfection service or ozone treatment service. The team wears full protective equipment, chooses products to suit the germ and surface, and reports after the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are bird flu warning signs on egg farms? A: Unusual deaths or sudden drops in egg production; notify livestock officers immediately.
Q: How long before the area can be used? A: After ULV fogging, areas are typically usable about 30 minutes later. For ozone treatment, no people or pets may be inside and the room must be ventilated before use.
Q: Can I get a tax invoice? A: Yes. Tax invoices are issued and 3% withholding tax is supported. Call 065-556-6294 or LINE @whd268.
Health References
Follow disease updates from Thailand's Department of Disease Control (hotline 1422) and the World Health Organization. Disinfection reduces germs in the environment and is not medical treatment; anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.
Summary
The Netherlands shows one farm can affect dozens nearby. Egg farms with biosecurity and tools ready protect their flocks and income.
