The ultimate farm disinfectant
DEFRA Approved
Virkon S is a leading broad-spectrum disinfectant widely recognised across the agricultural and veterinary sectors for its reliable performance and ease of use. Designed to support rigorous on-farm hygiene programmes, it is commonly used by livestock producers, veterinary hospitals, and farmers who require a proven, versatile solution for controlling disease-causing organisms. When mixed, Virkon S produces a characteristic pink solution, reflecting its unique formulation of peroxygen compounds, surfactants, and organic acids.

Virkon S is valued for its ability to inactivate a wide array of pathogens that threaten animal health and farm productivity. Its oxidative chemistry enables activity against:

Its performance across these diverse organisms helps safeguard farm operations from both routine and serious biosecurity threats.
