Study of disinvasive properties of innovative aldehyde disinfectant

Abstract

The pollution rate of environment by pathogens of invasive diseases and contamination of manure, soil, water, and other objects by them are constantly changing depending on the prevalence and intensity of invasion among farm animals. Prevention and control of invasive animal diseases are essential to prevent their spread, as well as to obtain high-quality sanitary products for livestock production. The preservation of pathogens in the environment depends on the intensity of exposure to natural and artificial factors and their resistance to chemicals that are used for disinfection. A large number of disinfectants, both domestic and foreign, have been proposed for disinfection, but they are not always effective under industrial conditions for conducting forced or preventive disinfestation. The introduction of disinfectants into practice is impossible without a preliminary laboratory assessment of their disinvasive properties. The aim of our work was to study the disinvasive properties of a new aldehyde disinfectant on the test models of Ascaris suum eggs. The studies were carried out in the Laboratory of Veterinary Sanitation and Parasitology of the National Scientific Center ‘Institute of Experimental and Clinical Veterinary Medicine’ in accordance with the methodological recommendations ‘Methods to Identify and Evaluate Safety Parameters and Quality of Disinfectants, Detergent-Disinfectants Used During Production, Storage, Transportation and Sale of Products of Animal Origin’ (2010). As a result of the studies, it was found that the aldehyde disinfectant exhibits disinvasive properties to the test culture of Ascaris suum eggs when applied at a concentration of 4.0% at room temperature (18–20 ± 0.5°C) and exposure of 3 h. The disinfectant can be used for preventive and forced disinvasions of animal holding facilities and other veterinary control facilities
