Aerial Disinfection in the Presence of Livestock

Virkon® S can be misted in the presence of livestock or poultry at a dilution rate of 1:200 (0.5%). 

A cold fogger or mister should be used, as the noise of a thermal fogger may disturb the animal’s behaviour. 

Always read the Virkon® S label carefully to ensure regulatory compliance.
