Effective disinfection of equine premises requires careful disinfectant selection. Phenolic disinfectants and iodophors are recommended for controlling challenging horse pathogens, unlike other common agents ineffective in organic matter.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Science
  • Infectious Disease Control
  • Farm Biosecurity

Background:

  • Equine premises present disinfection challenges due to diverse surfaces and numerous horse pathogens.
  • Controlling common infectious diseases like rotavirus diarrhea, salmonellosis, and strangles is particularly difficult.
  • Organic matter commonly found on horse farms can render many disinfectants ineffective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of various disinfectants against common equine pathogens in the presence of organic matter.
  • To identify optimal disinfection strategies for equine farm biosecurity.

Main Methods:

  • Scientific demonstration of disinfectant efficacy under conditions simulating equine farm environments.
  • Assessment of virucidal and bactericidal properties of disinfectants.

  • Comparison of phenolic disinfectants, iodophors, quaternary ammonium compounds, chlorhexidine, bleach, and pine oil.

    • Main Results:

    • Phenolic disinfectants demonstrated efficacy in the presence of organic matter and were virucidal.
    • 10% iodophors proved virucidal and bactericidal for hand washing and equipment cleaning.
    • Quaternary ammonium compounds, chlorhexidine, bleach, and pine oil were ineffective in the presence of organic matter.

    Conclusions:

    • Phenolic disinfectants are effective for stall surface disinfection after thorough cleaning, aiding disease outbreak control.
    • Iodophors are suitable for personnel and equipment decontamination.
    • Careful selection of disinfectants is crucial for effective disease control on equine farms, avoiding agents ineffective in organic matter.
