Equine Care
Animal Biosecurity and disease control and protection in Equine care
One of the greatest disease threats to a horse is from another horse, whether through direct contact or through surfaces, equipment, vehicles or people contaminated by diseased animals. Vaccination is important. Medication can be used once the horse or pony is seen to be sick.
But neither can offer complete, effective and economical protection against the wide range of disease organisms that threaten horses. Biosecurity completes the triangle of protection - excluding disease organisms from the animals' environment. This is the only way to break the cycle of disease.
Biosecurity can only be achieved through regular and comprehensive routines, using products that are proven to be effective against viral, bacterial and fungal disease organisms. ViralFX™ is the ultimate equine disinfectant proven to be effective against viral, bacterial and fungal organisms which can cause disease in horses.
