Product Type 3: Animal Hygiene
At MassLab, we offer comprehensive biocidal testing services to ensure that biocidal products for animal hygiene meet efficacy, safety, and quality standards. Product Type 3: Animal Hygiene Biocides are applied directly to animals or to areas where animals reside, helping to prevent harmful microorganisms from threatening animal health. These products must be highly effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi while remaining safe for animal health.
Importance of Biocidal Products for Animal Hygiene
Biocidal products designed for animal hygiene are crucial for protecting animal welfare and preventing the spread of diseases. When used on animals or in their living areas, these products help maintain skin health and overall cleanliness in animal shelters. MassLab’s biocidal tests guarantee that these products meet all necessary efficacy and safety standards.
Scope of Animal Hygiene Biocidal Testing
Microbiological Efficacy Tests
These tests determine how effective the biocidal products are against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Testing is carried out according to international standards such as EN 1276 (efficacy against bacteria), EN 1650 (efficacy against fungi), and EN 14476 (efficacy against viruses).
Dermatological Safety Tests
When applied directly to animals, biocidal products must not cause skin irritation, redness, or allergic reactions. Dermatological tests verify that the products are safe and compatible with animal skin.
Rapid Action and Persistent Efficacy Tests
These tests assess whether the products can quickly neutralize microorganisms and provide long-lasting protection on surfaces or animal skin following disinfection.
Chemical Content and Allergen Tests
These tests evaluate whether the chemicals contained in the biocidal products are safe for animal health. They check for allergenic substances to ensure that the products can be used safely without adverse reactions.
pH Compatibility and Surface Compatibility Tests
These tests determine if the product’s pH is appropriate for animal skin and various surfaces, preventing skin irritation. Surface compatibility tests assess whether the biocidal products cause any damage to materials used in animal shelters.
Stability Tests
Stability tests confirm that animal hygiene biocidal products maintain their efficacy and safety throughout their shelf life, ensuring long-term protection.
Application Area and Surface Tests
These tests evaluate the effectiveness and durability of biocidal products on different surfaces (e.g., barn floors, feeding troughs), ensuring that the products are suitable for a wide range of applications.
