Virkon S disinfectant

Recommended Posts

Has anyone used this? I have just ordered some to give my coops a bit of a general clean but I have a couple of questions:

 

1. Is it truly safe for animals to come into direct contact (ie using it to wash their feet, etc) I have seen some places say you can do this and other just haven't mentioned it.

 

2. Is there an age which you wouldn't expose to this product? I have some chicks coming in one of my coops in a few days and want to know if it's ok to expose them to it to.

 

Any information would be very gratefully received!

Thanks.

I use it when I'm giving the coops a thorough clean out and to clean out a brooder - allowing it to dry before the chicks go back in. My local vet uses in between animals so I think its pretty safe! I've never heard of using it as a footbath (I presume for humans?) and I wouldn't leave it lying around for an inquisitive beak to drink, its not meant to be ingested.
