Iodine Monochloride

Species

All species of animals and birds.  

Composition

Iodine monochloride contains:  
- Active substance: Iodine monochloride – 3%  
- Adjuvants: Hydrochloric acid – 30%, water

Indications

Iodine monochloride is used in the form of solutions in the following cases:  
- Treatment of animals affected by dermatophytosis;  
- Antiseptic treatment of the udder;  
- Prophylactic and ongoing outbreak disinfection of surfaces in animal housing and poultry sheds, technological equipment and premises, auxiliary units and inventory, cold storage rooms, and sheds used in sericulture;  
- Processing of eggs;  
- Treatment of the air in animal and poultry housing, in the absence of animals and birds.

Dosage and method of administration

- Treatment of animals affected by trichophytosis, applied externally, locally, as a 10% aqueous solution or a 10% solution in triethylene glycol, which, due to its oily consistency, ensures effective penetration into rough, affected skin. Apply in moderate amounts with a brush or cotton swab, carefully rubbing the affected surface and adjacent tissue. For recent cases, 1-2 applications at 20-30 minute intervals are sufficient. In severe cases with crusts, apply 3-5 times daily for 3 days, rubbing vigorously to soak the crusts, penetrate beneath them, and reach hair follicles.  
- Treatment of animals against trichophytosis is recommended outdoors or in well-ventilated areas. Each animal should be treated with a separate swab, and brushes should be periodically cleaned, washed, and disinfected by immersion in a 10% iodine monochloride solution.  
- Antiseptic treatment of the udder, performed immediately after milking cows, with a 0.5% aqueous solution or 10% in triethylene glycol. This is done by dipping the teat into a container (cup) with the solution or by spraying.  
- Disinfection of premises by fine spraying of surfaces and technological equipment, in the absence of animals, slaughter products, and prepared food, using equipment such as DUK-1, DUK-1M, AVD-1, UDP-M, LSD-3M, LSD-EP, or other spraying devices.  

Preparation of solutions  
Solutions are prepared by adding the required amount of iodine monochloride to tap water, considering the product as having a 100% concentration.  

Prophylactic disinfection of premises and equipment 
- Smooth surfaces (metal, tiles, oil or mixed paint, non-porous plastic, etc.): 3% solution, 0.25-0.3 l/m², exposure time 3 hours.  
- Rough surfaces (brick, cement, concrete, porous plastic, gapped flooring, unpainted wood, drainage channels, etc.): 5% solution, 0.5 l/m², exposure time 3 hours.  

Mandatory disinfection (periodic and final) 
- For bacterial or viral diseases in resistance group 2 to disinfectants, apply 3% solutions (smooth surfaces) or 5% (rough surfaces), 0.5 l/m², exposure time 3-6 hours.  
- Anthrax: 10% solution, 1 l/m², applied twice at 15-25 minute intervals, contact time 3 hours.  
- Temperatures below 0°C: solution applied fractionally (0.3-0.4 l/m² per application), surface pretreated with hot water (70°C) or a supersaturated salt solution (15-20%), 0.5 l/m², exposure time 3 hours after the last application.  
- African swine fever: 3% solution, 0.5 l/m², single application, exposure 3 hours.  
- Infectious atrophic rhinitis, erysipelas, viral hepatitis in ducks, foot-and-mouth disease (periodic disinfection): 5% solution, 0.5 l/m². Foot-and-mouth disease (final disinfection): 5% solution, applied twice, 0.5 l/m², 1-hour interval, exposure 3 hours.  
- Infectious enterotoxemia, clostridiosis in sheep, tuberculosis: 10% solution, heated to 45-50°C, applied twice, 0.5 l/m², 1-hour interval.  
- Coccidiosis (rabbits and poultry): 10% solution, heated to 70°C, 1 l/m², exposure 5 hours.  
- Parascaridosis (horses), ascaridosis (pigs): 5% solution, 70°C, 1 l/m², exposure 5 hours.  
- Strongylatosis, strongyloidosis: 3% solution, 70°C, 1 l/m², exposure 1 hour.  
- Cold storage rooms (mold prevention): 10% solution, 1 l/m², exposure 1 hour.  
- Contagious diseases in silkworms (septicemia, flacherie, infectious anemia, polyhedrosis): 10% solution, 1 l/m², exposure 9 hours, applied 6 days before introducing larvae and at the end of the rearing cycle.  

Corrosion prevention  
For metal surfaces, use iodine monochloride diluted in triethylene glycol (1:9 – 1 part iodine, 9 parts triethylene glycol), thoroughly homogenized. The resulting solution is applied as follows:  
- Replaces the 10% solution where indicated;  
- Diluted 50% with water (50:50) where a 5% solution is indicated;  
- Diluted 30% with water (30:70) where a 3% solution is indicated, adhering to the specified doses and regimen.  

Post-treatment  
After the exposure time, surfaces and equipment are washed with water, cleaned of residues, and the premises are ventilated until the specific odor dissipates. Only then is repopulation with animals permitted.  

Air treatment with aerosols (respiratory diseases)  
- Spraying: 30% aqueous solution (3% iodine monochloride), particle size 0.5-20 μm, 1.2 ml/m², 10-12 sprays in 4 cycles (2-3 consecutive days, 2-3 day intervals between cycles), exposure 25-30 minutes per spray. The room remains closed, ventilation turned off.  
- Exothermic sublimation: vapors of iodoaluminum and chloroaluminum obtained from iodine monochloride and aluminum (shavings, powder, wire, etc.). Use glass/enamel containers (>2-3 liters, 1 container per 400-500 m³), evenly placed at 1-1.5 m height. Dose: 3 ml/m³ iodine monochloride + 50 g aluminum/1 liter solution. Reaction starts in 1-2 minutes, lasts 5-10 minutes, sublimation 35-37 minutes. The room remains closed, ventilation off. Perform 3-4 treatments, 3-day intervals. To avoid splashing, a 9:1 mix with triethylene glycol is recommended. After treatment, ventilate thoroughly.  

Egg disinfection  
Contaminated eggs are immersed in a 4% iodine monochloride solution for 15 minutes, then air-dried.

Administration may be contraindicated in cases of increased individual sensitivity of the animal to the components of the preparation.
