Avian Influenza – A Highly Dangerous and Rapidly Spreading Virus

Avian influenza is a highly contagious viral disease that causes severe losses not only for small poultry keepers but also for the entire poultry industry, affecting exports of birds and poultry products. When an outbreak occurs, all birds on the farm must be culled.

Symptoms of avian influenza: birds stop eating and drinking, experience difficulty breathing, the comb and wattles turn bluish, the head and neck swell, and bruising appears on the skin and mucous membranes. Avian influenza is transmitted indirectly through contact with secretions from infected birds, particularly faeces, as well as via contaminated feed, water, equipment, clothing, footwear, or other objects.

It is crucial to prevent unauthorized entry of people, vehicles, wild animals, and birds onto farms. Farm premises must be kept clean and continuously disinfected. All vehicles entering the farm must be disinfected beforehand, and facilities housing feed must be regularly disinfected in compliance with hygiene regulations.

Our product, BS Quatril Extra, is a disinfectant with virucidal, fungicidal, and bactericidal activity. It is a neutral, concentrated, and highly versatile solution. The BS Chemical team provides a complete solution for avian influenza prevention on farms, covering everything from the disinfection of buildings to personnel hygiene.

Milk and dairy oroducts – vital for nutrition

Milk and dairy products play a central role in human nutrition. Over six billion people consume milk or dairy products daily, benefiting from the readily absorbable nutrients they contain.

Yet milk is not only a source of food and energy – it is also an ideal medium for microbial growth. To produce high-quality dairy products, the total bacterial count (TBC) in raw milk must be kept as low as possible.

Maintaining a low bacterial count is challenging for both small and medium-sized farms. Regular cleaning and strict hygiene practices are essential. Our professional team can provide full guidance and solutions to address hygiene challenges on farms, ensuring that milk reaches processors and consumers in the best possible condition.

Retail hygiene management

Maintaining cleanliness in a small shop or supermarket is one of the most crucial responsibilities for retailers. To provide customers with a pleasant shopping experience, attention to hygiene is essential. This is where we come in.

Halal and Kosher Certifications – The Result of Continuous Work

Many people care deeply about what they consume. Muslims want to ensure that their food meets Halal standards, while Jews seek Kosher compliance. Different religions shape lifestyles, decisions, and dietary habits. Yet, until recently, the food industry often overlooked the traditions of Muslim and Jewish consumers.

The global Halal and Kosher markets are now expanding rapidly. The food industry has begun producing compliant products for export to Muslim-majority countries and Israel. Equipment used to process Halal or Kosher food must be cleaned with suitable certified agents – which inspired us to certify our own products.

Our cleaning agents are certified as both Halal and Kosher. Daily, we work to ensure that consumers receive high-quality products. These certifications not only open broader export opportunities but also reflect the quality of our products. Certificates are renewed annually.

Each year, an independent auditing company checks whether our raw materials, products, and packaging meet Halal and Kosher standards. The data collected is analysed, and only then are international certificates issued.

This process demands continuous effort and oversight.

Installation and connection works have now been completed. Nearly 120 kW of solar panels have been installed on the roof of our factory, with partial funding provided by EU structural funds.

We selected the highest-quality equipment to meet our future needs. This is a long-term project intended to maximise electricity production and help reduce environmental pollution.

Before making the final decision, we carefully considered:

    • The solar panels’ capacity to generate maximum energy
    • The longevity of the equipment
    • Guarantees regarding power loss
    • Protection against fire and other hazards
    • The ability to monitor the panels’ performance in detail
    • Fault detection capabilities
