Abstract
A method for reducing or eliminating Salmonella in reptiles and/or reptile eggs through the use of at least one N,N-dihalo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin in which each of the alkyl groups is independently selected from those containing in the range of from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms.
Claims26
A method of reducing or eliminating Salmonella in reptiles and/or reptile eggs comprising contacting one or more reptiles and/or one or more reptile eggs with an aqueous microbiocidal solution containing at least one N,N-dihalo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin in which each of the alkyl groups is independently selected from alkyl groups containing in the range of from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms.
A method of reducing or eliminating Salmonella in reptiles and/or reptile eggs comprising contacting, one or more times, one or more reptiles and or one or more reptile eggs with a) a sodium hypochlorite solution and b) i) at least one N,N-dihalo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin in which each of the alkyl groups is independently selected from alkyl groups containing in the range of from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, or (ii) an aqueous microbiocidal solution containing at least one N,N-dihalo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin in which each of the alkyl groups is independently selected from alkly groups containing in the range of from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, or (iii) both (i) and (ii), and a) and b) can be conducted in any order.
A method of reducing or eliminating Salmonella in reptiles comprising administering to one or more reptiles i) at least one N,N-dihalo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin in which each of the alkyl groups is independently selected from alkyl groups containing in the range of from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, or (ii) an aqueous microbiocidal solution containing at least one N,N-dihalo-5,5-dialkylhydantoin in which each of the alkyl groups is independently selected from alkly groups containing in the range of from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, or (iii) both (i) and (ii).
