Aerial disinfection via misting in the presence of pigs and poultry reduces the numbers of bacteria and viruses in the air, settles the dust, reduces odour by the absorption of ammonia, and has a cooling effect in warm weather.

This method has been used successfully across multiple sites in Australia by using the OzMist Aerial Disinfection misting systems.  A disinfectant can be introduced into the water supply to the OzMist pump, which allows fast application preventing outbreaks of disease and lowering the mortality rate of animals.
