The wait is finally over, lighter nights, spring flowers and the prospect of summer is here. Now is the perfect time to get in to spring clean mode and Stable Shield can help.
Completely gutting the stable, clearing all the bedding, dusting down the walls, scrubbing off any excess dirt will leave a perfect blank canvas to disinfect with Stable Shield Disinfectant.
Disinfecting stables helps to reduce the risk of spreading bacteria and Stable Shield’s Disinfectant is alcohol-free but is an advanced surface/multi surface cleaner and sanitiser that is manufactured to be one of the most powerful, fast acting, germ killing products available today, specifically formulated for equine use.
The disinfectant is effective within 30 seconds and can kill up to 99.999% of bacteria but contains no irritants within the formula making it completely safe for horses.
Common equine infections such as ringworm, strangles and aspergillus can be prevented with regular use.
Infectious diseases can spread easily, so to minimise the risk, adopt a regular cleaning regime using the new Stable Shield Disinfectant, alongside Stable Shield’s anti-bacterial paint for better protected yards and stables.
To ensure Stable Shield works to its maximum effectiveness, we recommend that your stable is correctly ventilated and cleaned regularly, dirt removed from the stable walls, power-washed at least every six months, and disinfected monthly.
In the racing industry, the BHA General Instructions (BHAGI) now state that equine specific chemical disinfectants should be used at racecourses when carrying out a Level One clean and Stable Shield Disinfectant was put forward as one of the approved disinfectants to use.
Outbreaks last year of equine flu and the most recent outbreak of EHV-1 at the start of 2020 are clear indications that biosecurity is so important, and as horse owners we are responsible to look after our animals and protect the wider equine community. Prevention is better than cure.
Stable Shield Disinfectant is available in 5L at £65 + VAT and delivery.
