Virkon s

Does anyone else use virkon s. Ive bought some and im scared to use it in case i don't use it right . Can i use it in the coop aswell as washing down the concrete floor. Also can i use it on feeders and drinkers? I know it says mix 1 part virkon with 100 parts water but im just curious what i can actually clean with it as i don't want to harm the chooks.

yes it is safe when mixed to the correct strength.
here is what I found on the flights so fancy web site:-

Virkon S is a DEFRA approved disinfectant, and is active against viruses such as those that cause Bird Flu - so if you are concerned about epidemics and pandemics, Foot and Mouth Disease, Bird Flu etc, this is the product to go for.

Approved by DEFRA against diseases of poultry order at a dilution of 1:280. Manufacturer's recommendation is to use it at 1:100. Completely safe for use around all animals and birds, in fact they can walk through it in a footbath too!

Probably the most versatile disinfectant, it can be applied on to the animal, its house, or surroundings and will kill viruses, fungi and bacteria quicker and at lower doses than most other products. It is powerful yet safe to use with animals and around the home. Simple to mix and instantly ready to use.

We would suggest using Rubber Gloves or disposable Latex Gloves. 50g sachet will make 5 litres of disinfectant.

See this is where i got confused flights so fancy say its so say that they can walk through it in a foot bath but on the pack and the imfo argyllie has shown it is an irritant. Now am i correct in thinking that its and irritant when in powder form but ok when diluted to the correct ratios??? cor these things dont half confuse a gal!!

oh great thanks argyllie for the fast reply
