Product Information

Key Features

  • Fast-acting, broad spectrum disinfectant developed specifically for the biosecurity needs of intensified shrimp production
  • One 10 kg pack covers terminal biosecurity across pond liners and bottoms, walkways, buckets, nets, aeration paddles, footbaths, tyre dips, boats and vehicles
  • Routine surface, tool and footdip disinfection at 1:100 — 10 g to every litre of fresh water; boats and vehicles at 1:200 — 5 g per litre
  • Surfaces are treated at 300 mL of made-up solution per square metre, to the point of run-off
  • Has been dosed continuously into a hatchery header tank at 2 ppm (1:500,000) from first feeding for at least eight weeks to lower pathogen challenge in the water
  • Use with Biosolve E to clean thoroughly before disinfecting, and Virkon test strips to confirm the strength of a made-up solution
  • Virkon Aquatic is the aquaculture formulation — choose Virkon S instead for general livestock and facility disinfection
  • Sizing — at 1:100 you need 10 g per litre, so a 10 kg pack makes 1,000 L of solution, and at 300 mL per m² that covers roughly 3,300 m²; divide your area by that to work out how many packs you need
