Poultry housing cleaning in Kenya

Clean poultry houses between uses under a farm-approved hygiene plan.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional empty-house cleaning job: one poultry house with 6×4 m floor, four walls to 2 m accessible height, six removable feeders and eight removable drinkers. Floor area is 24 m² and wall area 40 m² before openings; roof/ceiling, tanks, electrical repairs, live birds and carcass disposal are excluded. The farmer supplies a qualified hygiene plan and labelled approved detergent/disinfectant. The service removes litter and visible soil, cleans accessible surfaces/equipment and documents the farm-approved later disinfection step; it never promises sterilization.

Who is the first customer?
