Based on "How to Properly Clean and Disinfect Your Livestock Trailer"

This might not be the glamorous part of owning a trailer, but it’s one of the most critical jobs for animal health. A clean trailer isn’t about looks; it’s about biosecurity. After every haul, especially after shows or buying new animals, a thorough clean-out is essential to prevent the spread of disease. Start by removing all bedding and manure. Then, do a deep wash with a pressure washer and a detergent specifically designed to break down organic matter. Let it dry completely before moving to the most important step: disinfection. Use a vet-approved disinfectant (bleach works but can be corrosive) and follow the dilution and contact time instructions on the label—this is key! Pay special attention to walls, dividers, and floors. I appreciate that trailers from Horse and Livestock Trailers often have smooth, non-porous surfaces and rounded corners that make this nasty job a little easier. How often does everyone do a full bio-wash vs. A quick muck-out?
