| | President Commentary: Rebecca Jones on Biosecurity, Industry Trends, and Key Tradeshow Takeaways | |
At Atmosphere Global, we truly believe that biosecurity is the cornerstone of a robust and flourishing agricultural industry. It goes beyond just products or protocols; it’s all about protecting the future of farming. By staying ahead of emerging threats, we’re dedicated to equipping producers with the essential tools, knowledge, and strategies they need to confidently safeguard their operations.
Biosecurity in 2025: A Critical Focus

Takeaways from the Trade Show Season and Iowa Pork
With trade show season in full swing, the conversations we’ve had with producers, veterinarians, and industry partners reinforce a few key themes:
✔ Proactive biosecurity is now non-negotiable – More producers are investing in comprehensive, long-term biosecurity programs rather than reactive measures.
✔ Labor challenges require efficiency-driven solutions – Producers are looking for user-friendly, automated solutions that reduce the burden on farm teams while maintaining the highest level of disease control.
✔ Show Insights – At all the shows we attended this year, the energy around biosecurity and its role in sustainability was inspiring. Producers are recognizing that effective biosecurity doesn’t just prevent disease—it improves operational efficiency and overall herd health, driving better performance and profitability
A Practical Biosecurity Tip for 2025
💡 Daily Disinfection Matters – One of the simplest yet most overlooked biosecurity measures is consistent surface and equipment disinfection. Even high-traffic areas such as loading docks, entryways, and supply rooms can become silent transmission points for pathogens. A structured disinfection routine using proven biosecurity solutions is an easy step that can yield significant long-term benefits.
As we progress through 2025, I encourage all industry stakeholders to prioritize biosecurity not merely as a requirement, but as an opportunity—one that enhances herd health, business sustainability, and the future of agriculture. Let’s collaborate to build a stronger, healthier industry.
Best,
Rebecca Jones

Quaternary ammonium compounds (also known as “quats” or QACs) are a category of chemicals that have become a cornerstone in cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting products due to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and some algae. This popularity stems from their inclusion in disinfectants, sanitizers, and cleaning products. Their action typically involves disrupting microbial cell membranes, leading to cell leakage and death. The basic structure of a QAC consists of a nitrogen atom
(N) bonded to four substituent groups (which can be alkyl, aryl, or other organic groups) plus a counter anion (such as chloride, bromide, or sulfate) that balances the positive charge of the nitrogen. Download the Complete Report

Brian Gottwalt – Schlichting Farms
"Our farm switched over to AG Forte Pro 2 years ago and the employees like it.
It does not cause any irritation to skin, eyes or lungs.
We recently purchased one of their applicator guns. It works great! It is short making it easy for our crew to get into the feeders and all the small areas, and it lays a nice blanket over everything. The gun has saved us some money by being able to adjust the dilution."

Ag Forte pro is an easy and effective product to us.
We us it as a multi -purpose product which simplifies ordering supplies.
This allows for less products on the shelf and for better biosecurity on products entering our farm.
