40 Years of Virkon® S: A Disinfectant with a remarkable success story
Since its market launch in 1986, the disinfectant has developed into an international standard – both in farm hygiene and in combating dangerous animal diseases.
A powerful tool against tough pathogens
The track record speaks for itself: Virkon® S has been tested for its effectiveness against more than 230 microorganisms, including:
- over 100 virus strains from 34 virus families,
- more than 90 bacterial strains,
- and over 40 fungal and yeast strains.
This broad activity has made the product an important tool in managing major animal disease outbreaks worldwide – such as highly pathogenic avian influenza, African swine fever, vesicular swine disease, and foot-and-mouth disease.
Trusted at government level
International authorities also rely on Virkon® S. In many countries, it has been included in national animal disease emergency response plans—a strong sign of global confidence in its efficacy and reliability.
Looking ahead: animal health at the core
“Entering its fortieth year, Virkon® S continues to offer proven and broad-spectrum efficacy.
Our mission remains unchanged: We aim to protect animal health and support livestock producers in meeting today’s and tomorrow’s biosecurity challenges."
