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 risk to humans proteins and fats, so providing reliable performance in the presence of organic residues such as chicken faeces and blood DNA and naked RNA viruses construction at typical use levels
