WHY POWER WASHING YOUR HOG CONFINEMENT AND FARM EQUIPMENT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU THINK

April 9, 2025

On the farm, cleanliness isn’t just about appearances — it’s about efficiency, safety, and animal health. Whether you’re raising hogs or running heavy equipment every day, keeping your operation clean has a real impact on your bottom line.

At DFM Services, we specialize in agricultural power washing across Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa. One of the most overlooked — but critical — tasks we handle is deep cleaning hog confinements and farm equipment. Here’s why it’s more important than you might think.

Healthier Hogs, Healthier Operation

In a hog confinement, biosecurity is everything. Waste buildup, ammonia, and airborne pathogens can spread fast in a closed environment. Without regular deep cleaning, disease risks increase.

High-pressure, hot water power washing helps eliminate:

- - Manure residue and feed buildup
  - Bacteria, viruses, and parasites
  - Mold, mildew, and odor sources

Cleaner pens = better air quality, less stress on animals, and improved feed conversion.

Better Sanitation = Regulatory Peace of Mind

Whether you’re prepping for a site inspection or maintaining protocols for herd health, proper sanitation helps you stay compliant with industry standards. Many integrators and processors require strict cleaning protocols — and power washing helps you check every box.

We also offer pre-disinfection washdowns to help you get your barns ready between groups or after disease events.

Extend the Life of Your Farm Equipment

From tractors and skid steers to manure spreaders and trailers, your equipment takes a daily beating. Dirt, grease, and corrosive residues can eat away at parts and clog systems.

Regular power washing:

- - Prevents rust and premature wear
  - Makes maintenance and repairs easier
  - Improves resale value by keeping your gear in top condition

Improve Efficiency During Harvest and Fieldwork

Clean machines run better. Period. Whether you’re planting, spraying, or harvesting, keeping your equipment free of debris helps prevent overheating, improves fuel efficiency, and minimizes downtime.

Don’t wait until something breaks — a proactive wash can prevent thousands in repair costs.
