Abstract

The application of ultraviolet-C (UVC) light is not well understood in the swine industry, and best practices for applying UVC technology effectively and safely are lacking. This paper aims to summarize swine industry best practices for using UVC safely and maintenance requirements created as a result of a UVC workshop organized by the Swine Health Information Center. By understanding basic UVC physics, mechanism of action, safety procedures, and general maintenance requirements, the swine industry will be able to use UVC technology safely and effectively for decontamination of surfaces on swine farms.
