Ecocid ® S – A modern solution to protect against African swine fever
African swine fever is an extremely dangerous and contagious viral disease of pigs for which no vaccines in medicines . As it poses a serious threat to pig farming and causes devastating economic losses, it is extremely important that we protect ourselves properly. Consistent implementation is paramount to preventing the spread of the disease biosecurity measures , such as the prevention of contact with feral pigs, the restriction of the movement of persons in the stable and on the whole farm, the control of rodents, disinfection …
To reduce the risk of introducing the APK virus into breeding, experts advise:
- layout disinfection barriers pred entrances and exits from stables , also before entrances and exits from the farm ;
- before entering the barn where the pigs are change clothes in change your shoes , as the APK virus can also be transmitted through clothing and footwear;
- leave used shoes and clothes in the barn after finishing work and clean and disinfect them regularly;
- regular cleaning and disinfection of stables, feed rooms, utensils and equipment used when working with animals;
- restriction of movement of persons on the farm, and to those who have to enter the stables, explain disinfection rules and other biosafety rules measures and ensure that they are strictly observed (1).
Ecocid ® S was also tested for a highly virulent strain APK virus , which causes pig deaths across Europe. We tested it at an independent scientific institute in the Russian Federation in very demanding conditions, simulating real conditions at the outbreak of APK in the barn, and confirmed its effectiveness. Ob possible outbreak of APK in Slovenia, they should be used for reliable destruction of the virus in infected and endangered areas 3-% Ecocide solution ® S which should work at least 60 minutes . It has been proven that Ecocid ® S in such use 10 billion times (10 10 ) reduces the number of APK virus particles in 1 ml, which is necessary for complete and successful removal of the virus in the event of an outbreak (2). The load of the APK virus is extremely high – feces on contaminated surfaces (bloody diarrhea is one of the signs of APK) can contain up to 10 in 1 ml 9 viral particles (3).
