The greatest threat to the well being of any creature comes from other creatures of the same species. The closer they crowd together the greater the risk of disease. Disease which can be passed directly from human to human, from animal to animal, or through indirect carriers such as contaminated surfaces, feed or water, vermin, insects or other creatures.

Biosecurity, in other words excluding disease organisms from the creature's environment, is the most effective form of protection.

This concept has been proven in human health, and has been applied to intensive livestock by Antec International for over 20 years.

In that time Antec has developed as the world's specialist biosecurity company, researching human, animal and plant disease problems; from that research developing products and biosecurity programmes specific to the environmental disease challenges to be found in hospitals, laboratories, public buildings, farms and food processing and storage facilities.

The objective - to remove disease organisms from the environment and then to maintain the lowest possible level of disease challenge.

Antec is particularly innovative in the field of controlling viruses, tackling the primary cause of the most severe disease outbreaks - an area where medication and, in particular, conventional disinfectants often fail.

The result is a range of effective products and programmes tailored to specific disease challenges and conditions.

Products and programmes which provide biosecurity and improved human, animal and plant health and improved livestock performance, and which are sold in over a hundred countries around the world.

Products which are made to consistently high standards in Antec's own factories.

Products which are safe for operators to use, safe for the people, animals or plants to be protected, and safe for the environment.

Antec International, the specialist biosecurity company, leads the fight against disease -worldwide.
