Can people recommend a suitables disinfectant for buildings and trailers?
I hace checked the UK DEFRA website and there seems to be a different one for every day of the year!
Thanks

We use Zirkon S for virtually everything including pens after calving/lambing. It's a pink powder you mix with water. It's expensive but goes a LONG way. Make sure you keep the cap on because it soaks up moisture in the air if left open.

Tim.

Whetever you use the key is to clean thoroughly first as organic matter inactivates virtually all disinfectants to varying degrees.Other than that most approved /listed ones will do the job.

Thanks, was planning to brush out, pressure wash, spray with disinfectant and leave it to dry?
