Vilofoss Stalosan F

Protect your animals from infections

Bringing animals into the barn generates elevated pathogenic levels, high levels of ammonia and subsequently unhealthy high pH levels. The high concentration of active substances and antimicrobial mineral acids in Stalosan F is proven to kill pathogens, neutralize ammonia, lowers the pH and keep the environment dry.

Stalosan F is made of fine particles to increase the contact surface and thereby increasing the efficacy. The fine particle size is also ensuring a high floatability and subsequently a complete coverage of treated areas. This floatability is very crucial or the effect of powder products in general, since once they are added to a  surface, they will no longer be able to flow out and give a full coverage.

Advantages of Stalosan F  

• A multifunctional biocide that provides ongoing  protection against pathogens and harmful waste products during the full animal production cycle.
• Active in presence of organic materials with an effect that lasts at least for a week
• The only approved biocide (or disinfectant) in ready to use powder form
• Contains more than 95% active ingredients, which lower the infection level and control the negative impact from harmful waste products and elevated pH-values in the barn environment.
• Eliminates pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites)
• Inhibits bacterial enzymes
• Neutralises harmful waste products such as ammonia and hydrogen sulphide
• Regains a natural low pH-value in the animal environment and therefore strengthens the animal resistance towards infections. Read more about the importance of a low pH-value.
• High effect with a low dosage makes it cost effective

Stalosan F for Cattle:

Stalosan F is proven to be effective against many problems, both those caused by bacteria and those induced by certain parasites. Examples include mastitis, high somatic cell count, and diarrhoea. Mastitis, is a complex disease caused by pathogenic bacteria penetrating the teat channel. The disease partly destroys the milk producing tissue and reduces the milk production. Often, mastitis infected cows must be culled.

Dairy cattle trial Australia 2013

2000 m² free stall barn, compressed ground and compost bedding. Standard Stalosan F application – three days in a row at the beginning, and thereafter once a week.  Start: 06.05.2013 with an average of 1 344 000 BSCC.

Application

For cattle, spread Stalosan F in areas where the animals lie down, particularly under the udder and in damp areas. In penned and tethered stalling, spread the product at the back of the stall in particular, around the feeding trough and dung channel, etc. In deep-bedding housing, spread directly on the existing layer of bedding, particularly in the animals’ lying areas. Spread throughout the entire area in calf stalls.

Stalosan F for Horses:

Stalosan F removes toxic, foul-smelling ammonia and hydrogen sulphide vapours that attack mucous membranes. Consequently, the horse box environment is improved.

The straw stays fresh longer when using Stalosan F, which typically reduces the straw consumption by 10–15%. In addition, using Stalosan F at least once a week will considerably reduce the number of flies.

Application:

In horse stables, spread Stalosan F at least once a week – across the entire floor area or existing mat and particularly in wet, damp areas and along edges.

The dosage is always 50 g/m²(1 pound per 100 sq. feet), but it may be very valuable to concentrate on the critical areas in the stable.

The consumption of Stalosan F is typically 12½–25 kg (27.5-55 pounds) Stalosan F per horse/year.

Stalosan F for Poultry:

Stalosan F has proven efficacy against Bacteria such as E.coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus; Viruses such as Avian influenza virus, Newcastle Disease virus; Coccidia oocysts; Worm eggs; Fly Larvae; Fungi.

Stalosan F includes active ingredients that kill pathogens and improves sanitation standards. Reduces ammonia and improving atmospheric conditions for birds and handlers. The product is non-corrosive to the equipment and it is safe to be apply when animals are present. Simple to use, providing a reliable disease barrier as part of the overall farm bio-security plan. Because of the low dosage rate it is also cost effective.

Acidic litter amendments are often used in poultry production to reduce litter pH, to control ammonia and as an intervention method in houses with a recurring disease issue. Stalosan F possesses similar effects by lowering the pH of the litter and inhibiting bacterial growth, which produces ammonia as a by-product of their metabolism and possess an excellent moisture absorbing capacity as well.

Stalosan F - General Benefits for Poultry

• Stalosan F as a hygiene and disinfection agent can be a key element of every biosecurity protocol
• Reduces ammonia production and bacterial challenge - improved immune function response
• Footpad quality improvement – less skin burning
• Increases litter amendment activity
• Increases fuel efficiency during preheating and brooding
•  Maintains healthy levels of floor moisture
• Reduces health risk
• Compliance with nutrient management guidelines
• Reduces environmental impact

Recommended Application Rates of Stalosan F

Add 50g/m². If the area is badly affected, Stalosan F can be applied I higher and/or more frequent doses.

Broilers

Stalosan F for Goats

Aside from the expected benefits of ammonia control and a drier environment, there is particular value in using Stalosan F for the control of mastitis in milking goats. The straw or bark covered floor will be drier and thereby reduce the effect of bacteria and parasites at the same time as assisting with mastitis prevention and hoof health. In addition flies will be significantly reduced and this product may also be used in the milking shed area for fly control.

The use of Stalosan F is an ideal product to improve the environment for goat herds and the staff who work with them.

Apply Stalosan at the recommended dose rate weekly to goat housing areas including kid pens. It may also be used as a foot bath at the entrance to the goat sheds to prevent contamination into the sheds.

Stalosan F for Sheep

Stalosan F has been proven effective against many problems, both when caused by bacteria and certain parasites. Examples include coccidiosis, arthritis, skin problems and flies. 

Use Stalosan F 1-2 times a week. In case of an acute, severe problem and after acute treatment by the vet, Stalosan F may be applied once a day for 8 days, and subsequently consistently 1-2 times a week to reduce the risk of infection.

The dosage is always 50 g/m², but it may be very valuable to concentrate on the critical areas. To obtain full value for money, it is important to apply Stalosan F consistently 1-2 times a week to keep the infection pressure down, also in periods without acute problems.

Stalosan F for Pigs :

Stalosan F in boot baths is more effective against PRRSv than Glutaraldehyde

PRRSv is considered to be one of the major problems facing pig production. A new university study demonstrates a high level of disinfecting effect against PRRSv, close to 100%. It concludes that under normal housing conditions, Stalosan F offers significant advantages as a disinfectant, also in boot baths.
