We are pleased to once again take part in the Giornata della Suinicoltura, this year alongside our partner Syngenta. During this important opportunity for discussion and professional update dedicated to industry operators, we will share experiences and promote best practices focused on biosecurity and animal welfare, key elements for ensuring production efficiency and sustainability in livestock farming.
In the pest management sector, innovation and continuous improvement often stem from strategic collaborations: the partnership between Colkim and Syngenta is a clear example. This synergy, built on expertise, technology, and reliability, provides pest control professionals with solutions that are increasingly effective, safe, and aligned with market needs.
Through its ZooKare line, dedicated to animal welfare, Colkim offers a comprehensive range of products and equipment designed for pest control in livestock farms.
In Italy, for over three years, Syngenta has chosen Colkim as its exclusive distributor, strengthening a partnership based on shared objectives and the development of ever more advanced solutions and approaches in pest management.
Recently, the two companies have further expanded their offering to respond even more effectively to the needs of the livestock sector.
In pig farming, the main pests that affect animal welfare are flies and rodents. To safeguard hygiene, animal health, and farm productivity, it is essential to keep these harmful pests under control.
Flies represent one of the major challenges. Attracted by odors, organic matter, and favorable environmental conditions, these small pests can cause stress to animals and act as vectors of pathogens, contributing to the spread of viral and bacterial diseases. Since they find ideal conditions for establishment, their reproductive capacity is extremely high: a single fly can lay up to 150–300 eggs, leading to new populations within just a few weeks.
Rodents also pose a significant threat to the swine sector. In this case as well, mice are attracted by the abundant availability of food within farms, as well as the warmth and shelter provided by facilities. Finding an ideal environment for proliferation, rodents multiply rapidly, increasing the risk of feed contamination, disease transmission, and structural damage.
For this reason, it is essential to integrate pest control strategies by combining preventive measures, continuous monitoring, and targeted interventions using specific products. Effective pest management directly contributes to meeting regulatory standards and evaluation systems such as ClassyFarm, while improving animal welfare and farm sustainability.
Managing pests in livestock farms is essential to ensure animal welfare and farm productivity. To achieve concrete and long-lasting results, it is crucial to rely on professionals and adopt a structured approach based on prevention, monitoring, and the use of professional solutions. Investing in an effective control plan not only reduces health risks but also enhances farm performance, making it more sustainable and competitive.
In a context where biosecurity, sustainability, and integrated pest management are key elements, Colkim and Syngenta are committed to supporting operators through training, technical consulting, and innovative solutions, with the aim of facilitating their work and helping improve productivity.
