Vanodine General Product Information | ||
As more and more intensive methods of animal husbandry are practiced, the risks of keeping livestock increase and it is in these crowded environments that new methods of disinfection are necessary to help prevent the spread of infection.
V.18 is also most useful to breeders of Rabbits, Cavies, Chinchillas, Mice etc., as it helps to prevent respiratory diseases, (including "Snuffles") Salmonellosis and many forms of Enteritis, for example: - Bird Breeders suffer from "dead in shell" and "mushy chick", where the youngsters fail to break out their shells. Washing eggs in a Vanodine (V.18) solution destroys the Staphylococci which causes "mushy chick'. V.18 has also been proved useful in controlling the spread of Salmonellosis, Paratyphoid and respiratory diseases among birds. Infection can be spread from a diseased animal to a healthy one in a vast number of ways. Direct contact is the most obvious, but by no means the most common method of transmission. Human beings can convey infective material on their boots, hands and clothing. It can also come in on the feet of animals, on equipment, food containers and on the wheels of vehicles.
Note: in reference to water sanitation, Vanodine can be added to the water in watering systems in order to reduce the number of harmful bacteria in the water. At the dilution used for drinking, it would be effective against some - but not all - microorganisms. It is not intended to kill disease within the animal only to kill pathogens in the water which can be a source of infection for the livestock. Watering systems still need to be regularly cleaned and disinfected to prevent disease transmission from one cage to the next. Organic matter (dirt) can render it ineffective at low concentrations, so do not rely on the small amount floating round the system to keep it completely clear of infection.

In every case the kill was extremely fast, many times faster than either carbolic or quaternary compounds.

DESCRIPTION
What
is Vanodine - V.18 & FAM
Vanodine products are Iodophors (contain Iodine), arespecially
formulated and stabilized for use with all types of livestock
and domestic pets. They are effective against kennel cough, tuberculosis,
bordatella and many other pathogens. FAM is the
stronger product within the Vanodine family. However, both products
are effective against bacteria which cause equine 'strangles',
bovine 'mastitis', fowl 'cholera' and many other diseases. For
a more detailed description on which product to choose 
the
few corrosive types of disinfectant that are effective against
fungi. Another major benefit is that Vanodine (V.18) can be used
to keep down bacteria in the presence of livestock. 
What
are some of the Uses for Vanodine?
With
so many possible sources of disease, it is imperative that a
strict code of hygiene ( or Biosecurity ) is implemented, but
even where all the basic principles of hygiene are practiced,
bacteria populations will build up whilst livestock are in housing.
In order to keep mortality rates to a minimum, it is therefore
essential that this build up of bacteria be kept as low as possible
and this is where V.18 and FAM can be a great help.
