In a world where there are so many bacteria and viruses, it's a must to have a disinfectant. Near people are animals that are also susceptible to bacteria and infections. Only by observing the rules of hygiene and disinfection of premises for animals and birds, you can protect yourself from various dangerous diseases. Next, we will talk about such a preparation as "Iodine monochloride", which is used for this type of disinfection. We will find out what are the features of its use, what analogues of the drug exist, as well as reviews about this tool.

The instruction indicates the categories of persons who should not use the drug. This includes:
- People with hypersensitivity to the main active ingredient.
- Persons with allergic diseases.
- Women,pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.
- Persons under the age of 18.
As mentioned earlier, the drug is considered highly dangerous, so care should be taken when using it. But more on that a little later. "Iodine monochloride" found wide application in the disinfection of poultry farms and in the treatment of ringworm, as well as other diseases. Consider its use in more detail.
Treatment for ringworm
Animals suffering from ringworm should be treated with a 10% solution of "Iodine Monochloride".
Some processing rules:
- Use a brush or cotton swab.
- It is necessary to treat the affected areas with the solution, as well as the skin around.
- The solution must be rubbed as thoroughly as possible so that it penetrates the hair follicles, under the thickness of the formed crusts.
- Processing each animal must be done with a new swab.
- Brushes are washed under water and dipped in a solution of 10% "Iodine monochloride" for 10-15 minutes.
- Processing should be carried out in a well-ventilated area or even better outdoors.
If the ringworm is fresh, just a few treatments will suffice. There is a gap of 20-30 minutes between them.
If running lichen is being processed, then the treatment must be carried out 3-5 times a day for 3 days.
Disinfection of premises
Iodine solution is used to disinfect premisesmonochloride of the required dosage in relation to tap water. The solution is sprayed using special equipment.
The following de-installations can be used: DUK-1, LSD-EP, UDP-M, DUK-1M, AVD-1 and other spraying equipment.
Disinfection with "Iodine monochloride" of premises and technological equipment is carried out in the absence of animals.
After the room has been treated and the time required for the main component of the drug to act, surfaces and equipment are washed with clean water. The room must be ventilated until the smell of the drug disappears, and dried. After all this, animals can be launched into the room.
Prophylactic disinfection
Dosage of "Iodine monochloride" solutions for preventive surface treatment:
- Metal surfaces, tiles, painted or whitewashed walls, glossy plastic and other smooth surfaces are treated with a 3% solution, while the disinfectant consumption is about 0.25-0.3 l/m 2. Processing time is 3 hours.
- Brick, cement and porous surfaces, unpainted, wooden surfaces, manure and manure removal channels and other rough surfaces are treated with a 5% solution. Processing time is 3 hours.
- Refrigerating chambers during preventive treatment against mold fungi are treated with a 10% solution. Processing time - 1hour.
Forced current and final disinfection
Since "Iodine monochloride" has antiseptic and sanitizing properties, disinfection in the presence of birds and animals is allowed.
If our smaller brothers have infectious diseases of bacterial and viral etiology, which belong to the 2nd group in terms of resistance to disinfectants, treatment is carried out with the following drug solutions:
- Smooth surfaces - 3% solution.
-
Rough - 5% solution. In this case, the consumption of the substance should be 0.5 l / m2 on all surfaces 2. The duration of exposure to the disinfectant should be between 3 and 6 hours.
iodine monochloride application
If the room temperature is negative, the solution of the required concentration is applied in a fractional way in 3 doses. When applying, you must follow some rules:
- Treat the surface with hot water (70 degrees).
- You can replace hot water with a solution of table s alt (15-20%).
- Direct application of "Iodine monochloride" solution, the effect of which should be 3 hours.
Pay attention to the disinfection of premises for certain dangerous diseases:
- Infectious atrophic rhinitis, swine erysipelas, viral foot-and-mouth disease, duckling hepatitis. During the current processing, a 5% solution of the drug is used. The final treatment is carried out with the same solution twice, the flow rate should be 0.5 l/m2. Interval betweenprocessing - 1 hour. The duration of exposure to the disinfectant solution after the second treatment is 3 hours.
- African swine fever. A solution of 3% is applied once, the approximate amount for processing is 0.5 l/m2. Duration of exposure - 3 hours.
Parascariasis of horses and ascariasis of pigs. Processing takes place with a 5% solution of "Iodine monochloride", while it must be heated to 70 degrees. Duration of exposure - 1 hour
Infectious enterotoxemia and bradzot of sheep, tuberculosis of birds and animals. A 10% solution of "Iodine monochloride" is heated to 45-50 degrees. Processed twice, the interval is 1 hour. The exposure time in all cases is 6 hours
Coccidiosis of rabbits and birds. Treatment of the chicken coop with "Iodine monochloride" is carried out in the presence of a bird. Use a 10% solution, which is heated to 70 degrees. Processed once. Duration of exposure - 5 hours
Strongylatosis and strongyloidiasis. A 3% solution is heated to 70 degrees. The flow rate is 1 l/m2. Exposure - 1 hour.
Respiratory mycoplasmosis of birds, salmonellosis. Use a 3% disinfectant solution. The exposure time of the disinfectant is 1 hour
Eggs are treated as follows: immersed in a 4% aqueous disinfectant solution for 15 minutes. Then air dry.
The udder of cows is treated after milking with a 0.5% solution or a 10% solution with "Triethylene glycol". Solutionapplied to the teats of the udder with a spray bottle or from a glass.
Metal surface treatment feature
In order not to expose metal equipment to corrosive effects, it is treated separately from other surfaces. "Iodine monochloride" is diluted in "Triethylene glycol" in a ratio of 1:9. This product is approved for use when a 10% solution of the drug is recommended.
If a 5% solution is needed, metal surfaces are treated with a 50% solution. Iodine solution is diluted with water 50:50.
If a 3% solution is required, use a 30% aqueous solution 30:70 on metal surfaces.
Aerosol treatment of premises
Aerosol treatment of premises is carried out in case of respiratory diseases in animals. It comes in two types:
- An aqueous 30% disinfectant solution is being prepared. Aerosol devices are used, their brands were previously indicated, they produce 10-12 sprays. Repeat the procedure for several days. After each spraying, a time of 20-35 minutes is maintained. Spraying is carried out with windows and doors closed and ventilation turned off.
- A glass or enamel container with a capacity of at least 2-3 liters is used and placed at a height of 1-1.5 m at approximately the same distance from each other. Then they are filled with "Iodine monochloride", into which aluminum is then lowered. The ratio should be as follows: for 1 liter of solution - 50 grams of aluminum. Beginsexothermic process after 1-2 minutes and lasts 5-10 minutes. Reaction duration is affected by:
- Aluminum purity.
- Solution temperature.
To avoid too violent a reaction and for a more complete release of iodine, it is allowed to use "Iodine monochloride" with "Triethylene glycol" in a ratio of 1:9.
It is possible to spray "Iodine monochloride" with aluminum in the presence of a bird, but at the same time reduce the exposure time.
Duration of exposure to disinfectant - at least half an hour. At this time, close the room tightly, turn off ventilation.
Processing the premises in pairs is carried out 3-4 times. The interval between treatments is 3 days.

- Severe upper respiratory tract irritation.
- Burns.
- Ulcer formation.
Long-term processing of the premises is carried out in the absence of attendants and animals. Used containers for disinfectant solution must be disposed of. Animal products can be used during and after processing.

It has "Iodine monochloride" analogues, that is, preparations similar in their action and composition:
- Yodinokol.
- "Iodine triethylene glycol".
- Cliodesive.
- Diksam.
All of these medicines contain iodine and are used to disinfect premises.
