Virox Technologies®, the creators of the patented technology Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide® (AHP®), recently conducted an independent efficacy test against African swine fever. AHP technology is found in the Intervention farm disinfectant, known as Intervención in Mexico, and Prevail disinfectants in Canada.
The results give swine producers an improved option from the points of ease of use and application, toxicity to animals and workers, as well as lower impact on the environment and materials said Dr. José A. Ramirez, MS, PhD.

Both Intervention and Prevail achieved complete inactivation of the ASF virus (>5.5 log of virus titer) at the respective recommended dilution rates of 1:64 and 1:40 with a 5 minutes contact time. The test method employed included the presence of high-level soiling, hard water and was conducted at room temperature (20˚C, 68˚F), in order to assess both Intervention and Prevail’s performance and suitability for use in real world ‘on-farm’ conditions.
