Stable Disinfectant

[Sarah_Jane]

So what does everyone use?

I have rubber mats down with a shavings bed on top. I take up the mats every couple of weeks and disinfect underneath both for hygiene and odour. I always used Jeyes fluid which kept fresh for ages and wasn't too strong itself. The new formula though makes little difference so what else can I try?

I want something to disinfect, reduce odour and but not be so powerful that its no good for the horses breathing.

I have always used Jeyes or supermarket cheapy pine stuff, which IMO works just as well as some of the better branded ones.

I use a powder disenfectant-either Stablezone or Equidry(the best)

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

I use either Supermarket's own disinfectant or Jeyes powder (Bin Fresh) when I don't want to wet the stable floor.

I always used Black's Agricultural Disinfectant when I lived in England. Either that or Virkon. I personally wouldn't use a household disinfectant in stables but plenty people do.

Edited to say; Blacks does have a very strong smell for a day or two though, so perhaps this isn't the one for you.

Fieldguard green gloop it's fab, designed to be used with matting as it breaks down all the poo and wee that drains under the mats, makes them look like new and smells lurvely! Gloop
