EFFECTIVENESS OF MULTIPURPOSE AEROSOL GENERATOR SAG-2M FOR AEROSOL PREVENTION OF ANIMAL INFECTIOUS DISEASES
The development of a new multipurpose aerosol generator SAG-2M and the effectiveness of the produced aerosols of some disinfectants or therapeutic preparations to prevent animal infections are discussed. Among the products of VNIIVViM (All-Russian Research Institute of Veterinary Virology and Microbiology) there are new versions of aerosol generators SAG-2M, SAG-3M, SAG-4M and SAG-10MA for the use in commercial livestock breeding, poultry farming and biological industry. The effectiveness of the disinfecting aerosols produced by SAG-2M aerosol generator was studied in laboratory experiments through the example of disinfection of test objects contaminated with Newcastle disease virus and staphylococcus. The generator’s effectiveness was evaluated using a therapeutic drug Norsulfazole and some disinfectants like Virocid, Teotropin and sodium hypochloride both in laboratory and production environment on a livestock breeding farm of the OAO “Rassvet”. Regular application of the aerosols of the above mentioned drug and disinfectants since 2011 till present reduced respiratory diseases incidence by 60-70% on the average, and the use of Virocid aerosol as a disinfectant significantly reduced bacterial number of livestock buildings. The newly developed multipurpose aerosol generator SAG-2M produces volume and directed aerosols of various disinfectants and other biologically active agents. The technical capability of the aerosol generator SAG-2M enables extending its possible application range in various branches of livestock breeding including poultry farming.
