UK - The Infectious Bronchitis (IB) virus has been a worldwide
problem for the poultry industry for many years. However, the negative
effects of an IB virus infection can be prevented by vaccination and the
implementation of strict biosecurity principles, according to DuPont
Disinfectants.
Terminal flock turnaround biosecurity
measures are commonplace but are the biosecurity products currently
selected, genuinely capable of decontaminating farms where there is a
pre-existing IB virus challenge?
Choosing the right disinfectant is important, as poultry housing
surfaces and disinfection application methods vary, and the speed of
decontamination action under specific environmental and temperature
challenges can be critical when ensuring flock protection.
New independent virucidal assessments have been recently completed on
DuPont™ Virkon® S demonstrating efficacy against IB virus in the
presence of organic challenge. The assessment showed that a 1:100
dilution of Virkon S in hard water completely inactivated IB virus, in
10 minutes, resulting in an impressive ≥5.5 log10 reduction in viral titre. Read more
