ARGENTYNE-IODINE DISINFECTANT


Product Description

For fish eggs and general hatchery operation.

Egg Disinfectant: Effective against a wide variety of bacteria including Aeromonas Salmonidida, the causative agent of Furunculosis. Effective against a broad range of egg fungi and viruses including IHN, IPN and VHS.

Application: To disinfect eggs, dilute Argentyne 100 fold to give the duluted solution 100 ppm of free iodine. Salmonid Eggs should be water hardened for two hours, measured into incubation trays and left for an additional two hours. Dead or damaged eggs are removed. The eggs are then placed in diluted Argentyne for 10 minutes, rinsed and returned to incubation troughs. Fading of diluted Argentyne solutions indicates consumption of iodophore and the treatment solution should be discarded. Argentyne is biologically compatible with the disinfection of all eggs from finfish, eels and crustaceans.
