other porous materials) prior to disinfection. Clean surfaces thoroughly.

• Apply Interkokask RTU from a distance of 30 cm (12 inches) so that the surface is wet. Be

sure to treat all cracks, crevices and holes.

• Leave for 30 minutes if treating against bacteria, viruses or fungi, otherwise leave for 2 hours.

Rinse the surfaces with clean water. Vivariums must be rinsed thoroughly.

cannot for the life of me remember the name of the stuff we used to use but it came in a 5 litre blue container and main ingredient was hydrogen peroxide and was used once the kennels had already been cleaned. Was recommended to us via somebody who worked in a research lab - cannot be used on metal. Perhaps somebody can come up with the name?

Hi Apache,

Thank you so much for your reply. I had not heard of this lack of efficiency, do you know of any articles out there? I guess kilcox is a better as its a combination of QAC, phenol, and glutaraldehyde. The pens in question are plastic.

Thank you so much for your advice!

I was under the impression that QACs had no (meaningful) activity against coccidia.

There are some specific products that exist with activity against cocci (Kilcox, Bioocyst), but I'm not sure what you mean when you say you want to clean "a pen"? If there is wood or organic material involved you'd be better burning it and starting again. You can't get rid. If a stainless or plastic vet cage then use a specific disinfectant.

Cocci is the bane of the outdoor pig industry - they move entire site every few years once the levels of cocci become so high they affect production.
