Who Should Not Use Iodine Chloride
The instructions indicate the categories of people who should not use the drug. These include:
- People with hypersensitivity to the main active substance.
- Persons with allergic diseases.
- Women bearing a baby and nursing mothers.
- Persons under the age of 18.
As mentioned earlier, the drug is considered highly hazardous, so care should be taken when using it. But more about that later. "Iodine monochloride" has been widely used in the disinfection of poultry farms and in the treatment of ringworm, as well as other diseases. Consider its use in more detail.
Ringworm Treatment
Animals suffering from ringworm must be treated with a 10% solution of "Iodine Chloride".
Some processing rules:
- Use a brush or cotton-gauze swab.
- It is necessary to treat the affected areas with the solution, as well as the skin around.
- The solution must be rubbed as thoroughly as possible so that it penetrates the hair follicles, under the thickness of the crusts formed.
- Each animal must be treated with a new swab.
- The brushes are washed under water and immersed in a solution of 10% iodine monochloride for 10-15 minutes.
- Processing should be carried out in a well-ventilated area or even better in the fresh air.
If the lichen is fresh, just a few treatments will suffice. Between them - an interval of 20-30 minutes.
If the lichen is started, the treatment should be carried out 3-5 times a day for 3 days.
Room disinfection
To disinfect the premises using a solution of "Iodine monochloride" of the desired dosage in relation to tap water. The solution is sprayed using special equipment.
The following deinstallations can be used: DUK-1, LSD-EP, UDP-M, DUK-1M, AVD-1 and other spray equipment.
Disinfection with "Iodine Chloride" of premises and technological equipment is carried out in the absence of animals.
After the room has been processed and the time required for exposure to the main component of the preparation has passed, the surfaces and equipment are washed with clean water. The room must be ventilated until the smell of the drug disappears, and dried. After all this, you can run animals into the room.
Prophylactic disinfection
Dosage of solutions "Iodine monochloride" for prophylactic surface treatment:
- Metal surfaces, tiles, wall-painted or whitewashed, glossy plastic and other smooth surfaces are treated with a 3% solution, while the consumption of disinfectant is about 0.25-0.3 l / m 2 . The processing time is 3 hours.
- Brick, cement and porous surfaces, unpainted, wooden surfaces, channels for removing litter and manure and other rough surfaces are treated with a 5% solution. The processing time is 3 hours.
- Cold stores during prophylactic treatment against mold fungi are treated with a 10% solution. The processing time is 1 hour.
Forced current and final disinfection
Since it has antiseptic and sanitizing properties, “Iodine Monochloride”, disinfection in the presence of birds and animals is allowed.
If infectious diseases of bacterial and viral etiology, which belong to the 2nd group in terms of resistance to disinfections, are revealed in our younger brothers, the treatment is carried out with the following drug solutions:
- Smooth surfaces with a 3% solution.
- Rough - 5% solution. In this case, the consumption of the substance should be 0.5 l / m 2 on all surfaces. The duration of exposure to the disinfectant should be 3 to 6 hours.
If the room has a negative air temperature, a solution of the required concentration is applied fractionally in 3 doses. When applying, you must follow some rules:
- They treat the surface with hot water (70 degrees).
- You can replace hot water with a solution of sodium chloride (15-20%).
- Direct application of the solution "Iodine monochloride", the effect of which should be 3 hours.
We pay attention to the disinfection of premises for certain dangerous diseases:
- Infectious atrophic rhinitis, swine erysipelas, foot and mouth disease virus, hepatitis ducklings. With the current treatment, a 5% solution of the drug is used. The final processing is performed in the same solution twice, the flow rate should be 0.5 l / m 2 . The interval between treatments is 1 hour. The duration of exposure to the disinfectant solution after the second treatment is 3 hours.
- African swine fever. A solution of 3% is applied once, the approximate amount for processing is 0.5 l / m 2 . Duration of exposure - 3 hours.
- Horse parascaridosis and swine ascariasis. Processing takes place with a 5% solution of "Iodine Monochloride", while it must be heated to 70 degrees. The exposure duration is 1 hour.
- Infectious enterotoxemia and bradzot of sheep, tuberculosis of birds and animals. A 10% solution of "Iodine Monochloride" is heated to 45-50 degrees. Processed twice, the interval is 1 hour. The exposure time in all cases is 6 hours.
- Coccidiosis of rabbits and birds. Treatment of the chicken coop with "Iodine Chloride" is carried out in the presence of a bird. Use a 10% solution, which is heated to 70 degrees. Processed once. Duration of exposure - 5 hours.
- Strongilatosis and strongyloidosis. 3% solution is heated to 70 degrees. Consumption is 1 l / m 2 . Exposition - 1 hour.
- Respiratory mycoplasmosis of birds, salmonellosis. Use a 3% disinfectant solution. The exposure time of the disinfectant is 1 hour.
Processing of eggs is as follows: immersed in a 4% aqueous solution of a disinfectant for 15 minutes. Then dried in air.
The udder of the cows is treated after milking with a 0.5% solution or a 10% solution with Triethylene Glycol. The solution is applied to the nipples of the udder with a spray or from a glass.
Feature of processing metal surfaces
In order not to corrode metal equipment, it is treated separately from other surfaces. "Iodine monochloride" is diluted in "Triethylene glycol" in a ratio of 1: 9. This tool is allowed to be used when a 10% solution of the drug is recommended.
If a 5% solution is needed, the metal surfaces are treated with a 50% composition. The iodine solution is diluted with 50:50 water.
If a 3% solution is needed, use a 30% 30:70 aqueous solution to treat metal surfaces.
Aerosol treatment
Aerosol treatment of rooms is carried out with respiratory diseases in animals. It is of two types:
- An aqueous 30% disinfectant solution is prepared. Aerosol devices are used, their brands were previously indicated, 10-12 sprays are made. Repeat the procedure for several days. After each spraying, a time of 20-35 minutes is maintained. Spraying is carried out with closed windows and doors and ventilation off.
- A container made of glass or enameled containers with a capacity of at least 2-3 liters is used and placed at a height of 1-1.5 m at approximately the same distance from each other. Then they are filled with "Iodine Monochloride", into which aluminum is then lowered. The ratio should be as follows: per 1 liter of solution - 50 grams of aluminum. The exothermic process begins in 1-2 minutes and lasts 5-10 minutes. The reaction duration is affected by:
- The purity of aluminum.
- The temperature of the solution.
To exclude too violent reactions and to more fully isolate iodine, the use of "Iodine Monochloride" with "Triethylene Glycol" in a ratio of 1: 9 is allowed.
You can spray "Iodine Chloride" with aluminum in the presence of a bird, but at the same time reduce the exposure time.
The duration of exposure to the disinfectant is not less than half an hour. At this time, tightly close the room, turn off the ventilation.
Processing the room in pairs is 3-4 times. The interval between treatments is 3 days.
