The breeding and rearing of livestock is essential to meet world requirements for food. Disinfectants are extensively used to control and minimise diseases affecting animals. OXYKIL^® offers our customers one of the best active ingredients to replace traditional disinfectants. It is a formulated equilibrium mixture of peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, water and surfactant, allowing superior wetting of sprayed surfaces.

The antimicrobial performance of OXYKIL^® has been established against a wide range of microorganisms considered to be the most relevant in animal health care. Concentrations needed will depend on the contact time available, the type of disease-causing organisms and the level of organic contamination present.

• Foot & Mouth Disease
• Swine Vesicular
• Newcastle Disease
• Porcine Respiratory & Reproductive Syndrome (PRRS) Virus
