GAN

GAN is used for preventive and forced disinfection of veterinary facilities, including:

• animal farm facilities, process equipment, amenities (including incubator houses, egg-handling plants), dairy blocks and feeding centers, sanitary appliances, diseased animal slaughter houses, slaughter rooms and slaughterhouses, open facilities (ramps, docks, and platforms), packages, and uniforms
• manufacturing facilities, process equipment and territories of biological enterprises, food processing industry, as well as packaging, clothing, and items of animal care
• vehicles (including road, rail, water, and air transport used for transportation of animals as well as raw materials and products of animal origin)
• veterinary clinics (stations), laboratories, vivariums, circuses, and zoos

Before disinfection, the premises and equipment must be mechanically cleaned and washed. Working solutions should be prepared according to the concentration and volume required for disinfection purposes, by adding necessary amounts of the agent to pipe water, the temperature of which is 8 – 25 °С. When calculating concentration of a working solution, the agent is taken as a 100% substance.

The GAN and water ratio required to prepare working solutions is indicated in the table below:

Working solutions should be prepared depending on the disinfection purpose and the method of administration:

Wet disinfection (mist irrigation or surface wiping)

Local disinfection of individual animals (not enclosed in stalls or cages), equipment, tools, and surfaces is possible while providing intensive ventilation and no people and animals present in the immediate vicinity of the processed facilities.

Aerosol disinfection

Preparation of disinfectant baths and barriers

The disinfection solution should be replaced as required, but not less than 2 – 3 times a week. 

The technological processes in complexes and farms can contribute to the accumulation of diverse microflora in animal housing facilities with outbreaks of infectious diseases.

To ensure stable veterinary well-being of animals, a set of measures to combat and prevent infectious diseases is required.

Preventive disinfection is carried out in disease-free farms to prevent infectious diseases. The purpose of such disinfection is to reduce the overall microbial contamination in the premises in order to prevent microorganisms from accumulating and spreading in the environment surrounding animals and poultry.

Forced disinfection includes current and final disinfection and is carried out in animal and poultry farms in order to localize the primary focus of infection, to prevent the spread of the disease within the farm and outside.

¹ Highly infectious diseases (inc. African swine fever).

² When disinfecting rough surfaces, the solution consumption rate increases to 600 ml/m2 (300 ml/m2 twice with a 60-minute interval).
