1. CONFIDENTIAL ULTRAXIDE - FIGHT H5N1! Avian Influenza ( BIRD FLU)
Bird flu is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. bird flu is very contagious among birds and can make some domesticated birds, including chickens, ducks, and turkeys, very sick and kill them. Influenza A (H5N1) virus – also called “H5N1 virus” – is an influenza A virus subtype that occurs mainly in birds. Recent finding also states that similar virus has been isolated in swine
Human symptoms
Symptoms of bird flu in humans have ranged from typical flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat and muscle aches) to eye infections, pneumonia, severe respiratory diseases (such as acute respiratory distress), and other severe and life-threatening complications.
Human Influenza risk
During an outbreak of bird flu among poultry (domesticated chicken, ducks, turkeys), there is a possible risk to people who have contact with infected birds or surfaces that have been contaminated with excretions from infected birds. The current outbreak of avian influenza A (H5N1) among poultry in Asia and Europe is an example of a bird flu outbreak that has caused human infections and deaths. In such situations, people should avoid contact with infected birds or contaminated surfaces, and should be careful when handling and cooking poultry..
Bird flu prevention
There currently is no commercially available vaccine to protect humans against the H5N1 virus that is being seen in Asia and Europe . Although vaccine development is in progress, the best method to fight the infection and its spread would be to prevent the virus from thriving in the environment, thru a solid disinfection and biosecurity measure.

4. Mode of Action of Ultraxide
GLUTARALDEHYDE :
Glutaraldehyde has the property to bind itself to the proteins through their amine groups.
It has a very strong virucidal activity obtained by the cross-linking of the proteins of the naked (or hydrophilic) viruses ’ capsid.
It also combines with the nucleic acids contained in viruses DNA/RNA). Bactericidal and fungicidal activities are due to the combination of glutaraldehyde with the proteinic parts of metabolic enzymes, and with the amino-acids.
Being strictly hydrophilic, glutaraldehyde cannot cross the cell's lipid membrane nor the coating of lipophilic viruses.
Therefore it can only act outside these micro-organisms and has consequently a rather slow action.
Ultraxide formula allows glutaraldehyde to kill germs from the inside due to synergistic blend with highly tensio-active Quaternary Ammonium Chloride ( QAC).
Quaternary Ammonium Chloride
QAC's are cationic tensio-active agents. At low concentration they have cidal properties on a wide spectrum of micro-organisms (Gram+ & Gram- bacteria,fungi, viruses).
Their major site of action is the cell membrane, where they create a dissolution of phospholipids (cell membranes) and cause changes in permeability that allow the escape of cell constituents and cause cell disorientation.
These changes in permeability allow glutaraldehyde to penetrate inside the microorganisms.

6. BIRD FLU CONTROL PROGRAMME
A . POULTRY OPERATION:
All-in and all-out must be practiced to avoid recontamination of the new generation of flock.
Clean all premises. Remove all the residues, remnants of the former batch of flock since this decrease the effectivity of the disinfectant.
All removable equipments should be detached, cleaned and disinfected.
Wash down roads, sheds, sewerage.
Power wash shafts, vents, and other surfaces with water.
Practice terminal disinfection with Ultraxide® 1 : 100. (eg. 25 liters of Ultraxide® mixed with 2,500 liters for 75,000 sq ft. of surface area which is equivalent to 20,000 sq ft. broiler house.)
Newly washed equipment are replaced inside.
Fumigate the houses using foggers with Ultraxide® 1 : 5.
Put Ultraxide® in foot dips at 1 : 100 situated outside the entrance doors.
Do not allow entry of personnel after the cleaning and sanitation procedures.
