Description

Maintaining a strong sanitation and biosecurity program is essential for protecting herd health and reducing disease pressure. EfferSan Livestock Disinfectant Tablets provide dairy and beef producers with a simple, versatile solution for disinfecting equipment, facilities, and high-traffic areas throughout the farm.

EfferSan is an EPA/List N registered tablet, that when dissolved in water creates a powerful and safer sanitizing and disinfecting solution. The active ingredient Sodium Dichloro-s-Triazinetrione (NaDCC) becomes hypochlorous acid (HOCl) when dissolved in water, which is a mild, low-irritant formula that kills a wide range of pathogens as well as works as a great deodorizer.

When dissolved in water, EfferSan creates a broad-spectrum disinfecting solution that can be used to clean and sanitize hard, non-porous surfaces commonly found in livestock operations. The tablet format offers consistent dosing without the need to measure concentrated liquids, making preparation quick and convenient.

EfferSan provides broad-spectrum disinfection against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and fungi when used according to label directions. This makes it a valuable tool for dairy and beef producers looking to strengthen biosecurity protocols, reduce pathogen pressure, and support herd health throughout the operation. For a complete list of approved organisms and required contact times, refer to the product label.

EfferSan can be used throughout dairy and beef operations, including milking parlors, calf housing, maternity pens, water systems, feeding equipment, livestock trailers, handling facilities, and boot bath stations. Regular use helps support overall farm biosecurity efforts by reducing the presence and spread of disease-causing pathogens.

Because the tablets are lightweight, easy to store, and simple to transport, EfferSan is an ideal sanitation solution for operations looking to strengthen biosecurity protocols without adding complexity to daily management practices.

What pathogens does EfferSan help control?
EfferSan is formulated to disinfect against a broad spectrum of bacteria, viruses, and fungi when used according to label directions. Refer to the product label for a complete list of efficacy claims and required contact times.

Can EfferSan be used beyond livestock facilities?
Yes. While EfferSan is commonly used in dairy and beef operations for biosecurity and animal housing sanitation, it can also be used on many hard, non-porous surfaces found throughout the farm, including equipment, vehicles, offices, employee areas, and other facilities where routine disinfection is desired. Refer to the product label for approved uses and directions.
