Vantocil IB
VANTOCIL IB has been shown to be very effective against
Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium intracellularis
responsible for tuberculosis in pigs. VANTOCIL IB has also
been shown to be effective at eradicating Salmonella
pullorum, Salmonella typhimurium, Heamophilus gallinarum,
Mycoplasma synoviae and pathogenic E.coli, which are
responsible for white diarrhoea, respiratory disease and
colibacillosis in chickens.
Features
VANTOCIL IB is based on Arch's highly active biocide
poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride, also known
as PHMB, which provides the following properties of direct
relevance for controlling infections in livestock:
- Fast acting bactericide, effective at low concentrations
- Extensive toxicity studies suggest acceptable use
- Retains activity in the presence of organic matter such as
- Active against enveloped RNA, enveloped DNA, naked
- Readily dilutable in hot and cold water
- Provides stable formulations with both acids and alkalis
- Low corrosion, and compatible with common materials of
- Active in both soft and hard water
- Effective and stable over a pH range of 1 - 11
against Gram positive and Gram negative vegetative
bacteria. At higher concentrations effective against
yeasts

proteins and fats, so providing reliable performance in the
presence of organic residues such as chicken faeces and
