Disinfectant for Poutry Farm
We manufacture in Australia strong and very effective virucidal for poultry farm which you can use in cleaning, drinking purpose( as directed dosage only) VIRUCIDAL XX
Potassium peroxymonosulfate (PPMS or Oxone®) is widely used as an active ingredient in poultry farm disinfectants because of its strong oxidizing and virucidal properties. Here’s a detailed breakdown for you:
🔹 Why Peroxymonosulfate is Used in Poultry Farm Disinfectants
- Broad-spectrum efficacy
- Effective against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and spores.
- Particularly important for controlling avian influenza, Newcastle disease, infectious bronchitis, Marek’s disease, etc.
- Mode of action
- Strong oxidizer: disrupts cell walls, proteins, and viral envelopes.
- Rapid kill action without long contact times.
- Safety around animals
- When properly diluted, solutions are considered low-toxicity and non-corrosive compared with harsh chemicals like formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde.
- Decomposes into harmless byproducts (sulfate, potassium salts, oxygen).
- Environmental compatibility
- Breaks down quickly, reducing environmental residues.
- Suitable for both hard surface disinfection and water sanitation.
🔹 Applications in Poultry Farms
- House / Shed disinfection: Spraying or fogging empty sheds after flock removal and cleaning.
- Equipment & tools: Disinfects feeders, drinkers, crates, egg trays, boots, and farm vehicles.
- Waterline sanitation: Used in controlled doses to disinfect poultry drinking water systems.
- Footbaths & entry control: Helps prevent virus entry from farm visitors and staff.
🔹 Practical Use Guidelines (Typical)
- Concentration: Often used at 1% solution (10 g/L) for surfaces, but ranges from 0.5–2% depending on target pathogen.
- Contact time: 10–30 minutes is usually recommended.
- Compatibility: Works best on clean surfaces (organic matter reduces effectiveness).
- Formulations: Usually combined with surfactants, organic acids, or buffers for enhanced stability and penetration (e.g., commercial products like Virkon S).
🔹 Advantages vs. Other Disinfectants
Feature | Peroxymonosulfate | Formaldehyde | Quaternary Ammonium | Glutaraldehyde |
Virucidal efficacy | ✅ High | ✅ High | ⚠️ Limited | ✅ High |
Toxicity | Low–Moderate | Very high | Low | High |
Residue | Biodegradable | Persistent | Some | Some |
Corrosiveness | Low–moderate | High | Low | High |
Environmental safety | ✅ Good | ❌ Poor | Moderate | Moderate |
✅ In summary:
Potassium peroxymonosulfate is one of the most preferred modern disinfectants in poultry farming. It offers a powerful yet safer alternative to older, more toxic disinfectants, making it suitable for routine biosecurity programs.
