What PT3 Covers
PT3 disinfectants are biocidal products regulated under the UK GB BPR for veterinary hygiene purposes. They are used to disinfect areas where animals are housed, kept, or transported - including veterinary clinics, farms, livestock housing, and animal transport vehicles.
PT3 chlorine dioxide is also used to treat livestock drinking water lines, where biofilm build-up can harbour pathogens and reduce water quality for animals.
Key Applications
Veterinary Clinics & Practices
Surface disinfection for treatment rooms, kennels, and equipment where animal hygiene is critical.
Animal Housing & Farms
Disinfection of barns, pens, and housing where livestock and poultry are kept.
Livestock Transport
Cleaning and disinfection of vehicles, trailers, and crates used to transport animals.
Drinking Water Lines
Biofilm control and disinfection of livestock and poultry drinking water systems.
Why Chlorine Dioxide for PT3?
Chlorine dioxide is well suited to veterinary hygiene because it is effective at low doses, controls biofilm in water lines, and works across a wide pH range.
Low-Dose Efficacy
Effective at low concentrations, making it practical and economical around animals.
Water Line Biofilm Control
Penetrates and removes biofilm in livestock drinking water systems where bacteria persist.
Broad-Spectrum Activity
Controls bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites relevant to animal health.
Wide pH Range
Maintains efficacy across pH 4-10, unlike chlorine which weakens above pH 7.5.
Suitable for Drinking Water
Can be used to disinfect animal drinking water systems within recognised residual limits.
BPR Compliant
Fully compliant with UK GB BPR for PT3 veterinary biocidal use.
Dosing & Compliance Notes
Typical chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) dose and residual figures below are indicative starting points. Always confirm site-specific dosing with a competent water treatment adviser.
| Application | Typical ClO₂ dose / residual | Key standard |
|---|---|---|
| Livestock drinking water residual | 0.1-0.5 mg/L ClO₂ residual at the drinker | BPR PT3 |
| Drinking line biofilm clean | Elevated shock dose between batches, then flush | BPR PT3 |
| Animal housing surfaces | Apply per product dilution, contact then rinse | BPR PT3 |
| Transport vehicle disinfection | Apply per product dilution to cleaned surfaces | BPR PT3 |
Drinking water residual figures are indicative. Always confirm species-specific dosing, contact times, and withdrawal requirements with a competent adviser or veterinarian.
