One of the greatest disease threats to a horse is from another horse, whether through direct contract or through surfaces, equipment, vehicles or people contaminated by diseased animals.
Biosecurity can only be achieved through regular and comprehensive routines, using products that are proven to be effective against viral, bacterial and fungal disease organisms.
Virkon S is the ultimate equine disinfectant independently proven to be effective against viral, bacterial and fungal organisms which can cause disease in horses.
Stable Blocks & Horse Boxes
Remove all movable equipment (feeders, drinkers etc)
Remove all organic material (mud, soiled bedding and refuse) through scraping and brushing
Using either a pressure washer, knapsack sprayer or watering can disinfect all surfaces with Virkon® S solution (1:100 dilution rate)
Allow surfaces to dry before replenishing bedding and replacing equipment
Feeders Tack and other Equipment
Wash drinkers, feeders, tack and other equipment with Virkon® S solution (1:100 dilution rate) until visibly clean
Rinse with clean water and then allow to dry
Aerial Disinfection
Stable dust and airborne nasal discharges can transmit infection from horse to horse. Virkon® S can be used as an aerial disinfection spray to help control airborne disease causing organisms
Using a knapsack sprayer or pressure washer, on a fine mist setting, spray Virkon® S solution (1:200 Dilution rate) into the stable on a daily basis. There is no need to remove the horses during aerial disinfection
Topical Use
Washing your horse with Virkon S at a dilution rate 1:100 can help control the skin challenge of organisms that are responsible for Ringworm, Mud Fever and Strangles
Use a clean sponge to apply the Virkon S solution, leave for 10 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with clean water
