FAM 30 is a powerful iodophor general purpose disinfectant. It is bactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal and therefore offers protection from a wide range of disease causing (pathogenic) microorganisms.
It is recommended, as part of an effective cleaning and disinfection programme developed to meet the needs of intensive livestock production. FAM 30 is recommended for use in all types of livestock housing including calf pens, lambing pens and broiler houses. A rigorous and effective disinfection programme is essential to progress towards the effective elimination of viral, bacterial and fungal disease causing microorganisms.
Disease in livestock can result not only in direct losses due to dead animals but also in losses due to poor feed conversions, low weights, poor production and medication costs. The financial costs far outweigh the cost of implementing an effective cleaning and disinfection programme.
Used correctly disinfection can also reduce the need for more expensive aspects of disease control such as vaccination and antibiotic therapy.
FAM 30 has been tested against a number of disease-causing micro-organisms. It has proved effective even under adverse conditions such as, heavy organic soiling and low temperatures.
