Revolutionizing FMD Control: Peroxsil for Sustainable Farm Biosecurity in South Africa

In this episode, we explore the challenges of managing FMD, including the virus's ability to survive in water, soil, and on surfaces for up to a month, and even become airborne. We also critically examine commonly used disinfectants.

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised concerns, warning against spraying or fogging certain chemicals like chlorine-based agents due to adverse health effects on workers. Traditional surface disinfectants, including hypochlorite, can contain toxins classified as health hazards and pollutants.

 

But there's good news! We introduce Peroxsil, a groundbreaking hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectant distributed by Ladismith Powder. Developed in response to the global agricultural sector's demand for sustainability and eco-friendly products, Peroxsil stands out as a powerful, effective, and broad-spectrum solution that is safe for people, animals, and the environment.

This chlorine- and alcohol-free solution disinfects through oxidization, degrades harmlessly into water and oxygen, and poses no corrosive effects on most construction materials, making it one of the safest disinfection modes available. Rigorous tests by the Agricultural Research Council have confirmed Peroxsil's efficacy in killing the FMD virus at doses safe for both humans and animals. It acts as a fungicide, antibiotic, virucide, and nematicide.

 

Ultimately, it's up to livestock farmers to choose products that align with sound environmental, social, and governance (ESG) business ethics, ensuring proper usage in accordance with label instructions. Join us as we highlight why embracing innovative, verified solutions like Peroxsil is essential for effective FMD control and the long-term health of your farm.
