Vital Oxide for Use in the Agriculture Industry 

Vital Oxide is a highly versatile and reliable disinfectant ideal for the unique challenges faced by the agriculture industry. In the agriculture industry, the threat of avian and swine influenza outbreaks, the presence of plant pathogens, and the need for comprehensive biosecurity measures are constant concerns. To ensure the health and safety of livestock, crops, and farmers, selecting a disinfectant cleaner with broad-spectrum activity is of utmost importance. 

One of the remarkable features of Vital Oxide is its effectiveness against pathogens while remaining colorless and odorless. Unlike many other disinfectants, Vital Oxide (EPA Registration #82972-1) has a category IV toxicity rating (the lowest) making it suitable for daily disinfecting and sanitizing. It holds the NSF-certified D2 (No Rinse Required) designation (NSF Listed #141392) as a food contact surface sanitizer. As a result, Vital Oxide is currently utilized worldwide to eliminate germs in various agricultural settings, including hoof treatments, teat dips for dairy animals, milking stations, chicken coops, barns, and more.

Your Solution for Infection Prevention & Control

Vital Oxide is a comprehensive solution for infection prevention and control in the agriculture industry. By utilizing Vital Oxide, agricultural professionals can maintain a high standard of hygiene throughout their operations.

Livestock Application

Vital Oxide is an invaluable tool for livestock sanitation. It can be used to disinfect farrowing pens, buildings, barns, equipment, vehicles, and livestock trailers. Vital Oxide's NSF registration as a Food Contact Sanitizer (NSF Listed #141392, no rinse on food contact surfaces (D-2)) ensures that it does not alter the taste of food or water on sanitized surfaces. Implementing footbaths with Vital Oxide at each entry point can help minimize the spread of pathogens throughout the farm.

Dairy Farms & Calf Rearing 

Controlling pathogen loads in calf-rearing environments is crucial for maintaining low morbidity rates. Unlike caustic and highly corrosive disinfectants such as peracetic acid commonly used on dairy farms, Vital Oxide offers a valuable alternative. Its quick application process enables efficient sanitization of various surfaces critical for calf rearing, including maternity pens, calf pens, calf barns, robotic calf feeders, calf hutches, nipples, bottles, grain trays, gates, animal holding areas, and livestock trailers. Additionally, Vital Oxide's odor-neutralizing properties create a more pleasant atmosphere for workers and animals, enhancing overall comfort.

Hog Farms

Vital Oxide offers effective swine premise sanitation. Its powerful disinfection properties eliminate 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria, improving the overall environment and comfort levels in barn stalls and other hard-to-maintain fresh areas. 

Farrowing Pen Disinfectant

Newborn piglets are more susceptible to illness, so a dry, clean environment is critical to their health. Farrowing pens need to be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between each sow to prevent the transmission of harmful pathogens. Vital Oxide kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses**, including PEDv (Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus). 

Poultry Farms

Avian influenza (bird flu) poses a significant risk to poultry farms, and preventing its spread is crucial. Vital Oxide serves as a powerful tool in protecting poultry from avian influenza by effectively disinfecting poultry houses, egg trays or flats, crates, and vehicles. Regular disinfection of these items reduces the risk of introducing the virus to the farm. 

The USDA emphasizes the importance of disinfection to prevent bird flu. 

Applications in Horticultural and Botanical Settings

Vital Oxide finds diverse applications in horticultural and botanical settings, including commercial greenhouses, hydroponic growing facilities, plant nurseries, and garden centers. It can be used to sanitize various surfaces associated with compost equipment, display shelves, greenhouse tools, plant carts, irrigation systems, and more. By incorporating Vital Oxide into the cleaning routine, growers can maintain a clean and pathogen-free environment, ensuring healthy plant growth and reducing the risk of disease transmission.

Aquaculture and Fish Hatchery

Vital Oxide an be an important component in a hygienic environment in aquaculture and fish hatchery settings. Its broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, combined with compatibility with various surfaces and equipment, makes it an ideal choice for cleaning, combating biofilms, and promoting overall clean environment. Vital Oxide can be used to disinfect hard surfaces, nets, brushes, tanks, waders, dive suits, and fish-rearing equipment, ensuring optimal hygiene standards.
