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.
