Byotrol receives DEFRA approval for agrisphere range

Anti-microbial company, Byotrol plc has received Defra (Department for Environment Food and Retail Affairs) approval for its Microcleanse concentrate, part of the Agrisphere Range.

The recently launched Agrisphere product range provides agricultural and dairy farmers with peace of mind and reassurance through a comprehensive range of cleaning and sanitising products and its Microcleanse Concentrate is now listed as a Defra approved disinfectant.

Defra has the responsibility for maintaining a list of approvals for disinfectant products used to control the microbial threat that may cause the spread of infections commonly found on agricultural or food chain premises. Microcleanse is now also officially listed under the "General Orders" classification and the "Diseases of Poultry Order and the Avian Influenza and Influenza of Avian Origin in Mammals Order".

Byotrol is a unique and revolutionary anti-microbial technology, present in all products in the Agrisphere range and is effective against a wide range of harmful microorganisms including bacteria, yeasts, moulds and envelope viruses. Unlike many other biocides, Byotrol also provides proven residual action providing control and protection hours after use. The technology is non corrosive and alcohol free and therefore requires no specialist handling procedures or equipment.

Byotrol's products have been proven through a programme of independent testing to be effective for up to seven days after application and work against a wide range of micro-organisms. The products are non hazardous to humans, animals and plants and significantly the technology does not promote resistance in susceptible micro-organisms.

Byotrol's Sales Manager Gary Hilton comments: "The launch of the Agrisphere range has been a real breakthrough for farmers to date and we are delighted to receive Defra approval for the Microcleanse Concentrate. Current farm trials have demonstrated the highly residual effect of the range and we look forward to providing a total hygiene solution for many farmers across the UK."

Byotrol's lead distributor for the Agrisphere Range is The Active Group.
