Applications across the value chain
Designed for practical on-farm use - simple to dilute and apply. Used in sheds, hatcheries, footbaths, and on vehicles and equipment; safe on walls, floors and roofs.
Sheds
Routine disinfection between flocks; deep clean turnarounds.
Hatcheries
Prevent the harmful spread of pathogens in warm, humid conditions.
Equipment
Disinfect and prevent introduction of external pathogens.
Sanitise boots and eliminate cross-contamination via people.
Footbaths
Why Should You be Using Virukill?
Good hygiene sets the foundation for success. However, the problem on farm is how to implement these principles practically. In summary, animal hygiene centres on three main principles:
Principle 1
Eradication
of pathogens in the animal quarters before animal occupation.
Principle 2
Exclusion
of pathogens once the animals occupy their quarters.
Principle 3
Suppression
of pathogens which evade attempts to eradicate and exclude.
With strict adherence to these three principles, farmers are better able to manage their risk.
Virukill vs Conventional QACs
Criteria
Efficacy in the presence of organic matter
Virukill
Excellent - Highly effective in the presence of organic matter
Conventional QAC
Poor - Efficacy drops significantly in the presence of organic matter
pH dependence
Excellent - Not pH-dependent
Often narrow effective pH band
Corrosiveness
Excellent - Non-corrosive, does not oxidise
Can damage metal, including stainless steel ​
Temperature range
Excellent - Wide operating temperature window
Limited temperature range - temperature can affect efficacy
Toxicity
Non-toxic at recommended rates
Toxic
Field validation
Extensive, international independent poultry specific data
Variable
A simple measure of toxicity is the oral LD50
This measure indicates that Virukill is over 5 and 22 times safer and less toxic than formaldehyde and glutaradehyde respectively.
Trust the science
Virukill isn't just versatile - it's proven.
This patented disinfectant is scientifically tested and internationally verified to eliminate bacterial endospores, naked and enveloped viruses, and both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
​
Reliable protection, backed by science.
