Dexid-400 is based on an optimized blend of glutaraldehyde and quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) in aqueous solution. It combines the powerful broad-spectrum activity of glutaraldehyde with the soil penetrating, deterging and rapid biocidal capacity of QACs. It is a potent, high performance terminal disinfectant formulated for use in poultry hatcheries, livestock buildings and for disinfecting equipment, boot dips and wheel rinses. Dexid-400 has broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, viruses and fungi of importance in the effective maintenance of animal health and hygiene. It is designed as a terminal disinfectant for use after surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned and rinsed to remove all gross soil.
Animal husbandry housing and hatcheries:
- Clean the surfaces with a proper detergent.
- After rinsing and drying, apply Dexid-400 at 0.25% (no specific disease; 1:400) to 0.5% (disease outbreaks; 1:200) by spraying (ca. 1 l of solution per 4 m2). For fogging use 1 l + 4 l of water for 1000 m3.
- Following the appropriate minimum contact time (typically 20 minutes), areas should be rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry before animals are returned to the area.
Animal transport trucks and trailers:
- Clean trucks and trailers with a proper detergent.
- After rinsing, spray Dexid-400 at 0.5% (1:200).
- Rinse after contact time.
- For wheel rinses apply Dexid-400 at 0.5% (1:200).
Storage and processing rooms for feed and food:
- Clean the surfaces with a proper detergent.
- After rinsing, apply 0.25 - 0.5% (1:200 - 1:400) Dexid-400.
- Rinse after at least 20 minutes of contact time.
Transport equipment for foodstuffs:
- Clean the trucks with a proper detergent.
- After rinsing, apply Dexid-400 at 0.25 - 0.5% (1:200 - 1:400).
- Rinse after at least 20 minutes of contact time.
Boot dips:
- Dilute Dexid-400 at 0.5% (1:200) and renew regularly (every 2 - 3 days; daily for best results).
Dexid-400 is biodegradable and performs well in soft and hard water conditions. Dexid-400 is suitable for soaking, spraying and fogging applications.'
