ProOxine®AH Now Claims Efficacy Against PED

The United States Environmental Protection Agency recently approved the label language for Bio-Cide International’s ProOxine® AH product to include efficacy against Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) virus.

PED is a deadly viral disease that impacts pigs. Although it is not a food safety concern, the condition kills newborn pigs within a week, resulting in significant losses to the hog industry. The disease is caused by corona viral strain PorCoV HKU15 which attacks the cell lining of the small intestine, causing severe diarrhea and dehydration. Dr. Neeraj Khanna, Vice President of Technical Affairs, cautions that “growers should be careful not to underestimate the viciousness of this virus, as it hides very well in the surroundings and spreads rapidly.” He adds that “Bio-Cide International has contributed significantly to provide the best solution in its prevention and eradication. The test results demonstrate that the company’s product ProOxine®AH provides complete inactivation of the PED virus. In real life circumstances, the key is to expose this virus to a biocide before it becomes systemic.”

“ProOxine® AH is an EPA-registered product that has served growers in the poultry and porcine industry for decades,” explains Scott Owens, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the company. He further elaborates that “these products have become an integral component in the promotion of good health and well-being of livestock leading to increased profitability. Currently there are no vaccines on the horizon for PED, so the industry needs to employ practices to combat or eliminate this organism through other methods. ProOxine® AH has long been used for premise disinfection to eliminate pathogens associated with these industries. Now, a grower can significantly lower the contamination risk of PED by employing ProOxine® AH as a regular maintenance application.”

ProOxine® AH is distributed through selected and national distributors. For technical information about ProOxine® AH and its applications, contact Bio-Cide International Inc. Customer Service at 1-800-323-1398 or via the contact information below.

Norman, OK
Bio-Cide International, Inc. was recently awarded a new approval from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for the use of its OXINE® antimicrobial for horticulture applications.

OXINE® is a reliable and cost-effective tool for greater productivity,” Khanna added.

“Horticulture is a key area of application where our years of sanitation experience can now be utilized,” commented Bob Picek,Technical Sales Manager. “We are glad that this application is now EPA registered for our OXINE® label. OXINE® eliminates most microbial issues at grower facilities at doses as low as 1 ppm to 5 ppm. When used with our convenient, cost effective delivery systems, growers will be better able to
avoid the problems microbes cause. OXINE® will help the horticulture industry continue their dramatic productivity gains and help reduce disease related losses,” said Picek.

The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) recently issued Organic Certification for Keeper® and Keeper®
Professional products, which are intended to be applied as an
anti-microbial agent for the Red Meat, Poultry and Post Harvest Industries.

“Keeper® technology has played a vital role as a major component in HACCP planning for a decade in major meat processing facilities worldwide. Presently, Keeper® Technology is impacting the red meat, poultry, and post harvest industries by providing the highest level of safe and effective antimicrobial activity,” explains Scott Owens, Vice
President of Sales and Marketing for Bio-Cide International Inc, the manufacturer of theKeeper ® product. “The issuance of Organic Certification now allows the organic producer the same level of protection employed by traditional producers.”

“Bio-Cide International has spent years in research and extensive regulatory efforts to launch the Keeper®
