Evans Alu Safe Tray Wash 2 x 5L is a low-foaming detergent for aluminium trays, crates, utensils and other specified caustic-sensitive surfaces. It removes fat, grease, burnt-on food debris and carbon deposits in professional kitchens and food-processing environments. The formulation is suitable for automatic warewashing machines and manual washing applications. Evans also lists plastic trays, polycarbonate and glazed pots among its suitable applications. The detergent works in soft, medium or hard water, with dosing selected for the wash method, soiling and water conditions. Follow the machine manufacturer’s instructions and rinse items as directed after cleaning. This listing supplies two 5 litre containers, product code A117EEV2, for commercial tray and warewashing routines.
Evans Peradox is a concentrated peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide disinfectant for agricultural hygiene, dairy equipment and food-processing systems. The 22kg pack suits established cleaning programmes that include circulation disinfection, cluster dipping or treatment of animal drinking-water systems. It is suitable for use in hard or soft water, with dilution and contact time selected for the specific job. Use Peradox after effective cleaning and follow the product label, information sheet and microbiological profile for the required conditions. This is a corrosive, oxidising concentrate that requires appropriate protective equipment and controlled handling. Astral Hygiene supplies this product for business use; the completed purchaser form and valid photographic identification are required before dispatch.
Omnicide is a concentrated livestock disinfectant from Mirius for planned cleaning and disinfection programmes in animal housing and associated facilities. Its formulation combines glutaraldehyde with quaternary ammonium compounds and is supplied here in a 5 litre container. It is used across agricultural settings including poultry units, pig housing, cattle premises and equine facilities, subject to the product directions. Remove animals and prepare the area before treatment as instructed on the current label. Select the dilution and contact time for the intended application and target organism, rather than using one rate for every job. Check current disease-specific requirements when an approved disinfectant is needed, and follow all protective equipment and re-entry instructions.
Omnicide FG is an unfragranced disinfectant concentrate for use in food-production environments, including slaughterhouses and food-preparation areas. The 25 litre container is suited to sites that manage regular cleaning and disinfection programmes with trained staff and documented procedures. This is the FG variant; Omnicide FGII is the separate uncoloured and unfragranced option. Select the product and working dilution for the intended application using the current manufacturer’s instructions. Surface suitability, contact time and any rinsing requirements must be checked before treatment, particularly around food-contact equipment. Keep the safety data sheet available to staff preparing or applying the solution, and use the concentrate only within the handling arrangements specified for your workplace.
Mirius Omniclean 5L is a foaming detergent for first-stage cleaning in animal housing, hatcheries, transport and food-processing areas. It removes surface debris and soils such as fats and proteins before the separate disinfection stage. The manufacturer also identifies equipment and utensils in animal-health and food-processing settings as suitable applications. Omniclean disperses readily in water and can be used with the application method and dilution specified for the cleaning task. General cleaning, heavy foam cleaning and lightly soiled vehicles have different instructions, so match the concentration to the surface and soil load. Remove loose material first, apply the prepared detergent and rinse thoroughly as directed before moving on to the site’s disinfection procedure.
Effective against all known classes of virus, fungi and bacteria Suitable for use as an aerial, surface and water disinfectant Safe to use; fast dissolving and non staining Effective in hard water and at low temperatures
Evans Coldwash 25kg is a highly caustic detergent powder for cold circulation cleaning of dairy milking equipment. It cleans milking machines, pipelines and jars without heating the water for the routine cold wash. The powder mixes easily, produces no foam and rinses freely, with suitability for hard or soft water. Coldwash uses a specific two-wash procedure that includes retaining the first wash solution and rinsing the plant immediately before the next milking. This differs from a conventional single-use wash cycle, so the full manufacturer’s programme must be followed. Check equipment suitability and read the current label and safety data sheet before use. This listing supplies the 25kg pack, Evans product code R041HEV.
Evans Vanodine GPC8™ is a powerful glutaraldehyde and twin-chain QAC-based disinfectant formulated for livestock housing and agricultural biosecurity. Its advanced formulation is effective against bacteria, viruses and fungi, while remaining active in the presence of organic matter. It can also be foamed or applied using fogging machines for wider coverage.
Evans FAM 30 is a concentrated iodine-based disinfectant for livestock premises and farm biosecurity routines. The iodophor formulation is used for suitable surfaces, animal housing and biosecurity points such as boot dips and wheel baths. Astral Hygiene offers a case of two 5 litre containers or a 25 litre container, allowing you to select the format for your site. Use FAM 30 within a planned cleaning and disinfection programme, with the dilution, application method and contact time matched to the current label. Remove soil before disinfection and maintain dip solutions as directed. Where disease-control approval is required, check the applicable current conditions rather than relying on a general-purpose dilution.
Evans V18 is an iodophor-based disinfectant for livestock housing, equipment and farm biosecurity procedures. Supplied here as ten 1 litre bottles, the concentrate allows measured preparation of working solutions for the applications listed on its label. It is intended to form part of an organised cleaning and disinfection programme rather than replace thorough preparation of contaminated areas. Remove animals and loose contamination before cleaning and disinfecting housing or equipment. Choose the dilution and contact time specified for the particular task, and observe the instructions for rinsing, drying and re-entry. Keep the original product label available wherever solutions are prepared, and use the protective equipment required by the safety data sheet.

Professional Farm Disinfectants & Livestock Biosecurity
Effective disinfection is an important part of livestock hygiene and farm biosecurity, helping reduce the risk of harmful pathogens spreading between animals, buildings, equipment and vehicles.
Astral Hygiene supplies a wide range of professional agricultural disinfectants for use across livestock housing, poultry buildings, dairy sites, transport, boot dips, wheel washes and general farm hygiene applications.
The live range includes specialist products such as Omnicide, Peradox, GPC8 Glutaraldehyde, Fam 30, Vanodox and Vanoquat, covering a variety of professional disinfection needs and chemistry types. Selected products are described as DEFRA-approved for specific agricultural applications, including livestock biosecurity and notifiable disease-control uses where stated on the individual product pages. (astralhygiene.co.uk)
These products are designed for different applications, so selecting the correct disinfectant depends on the intended environment, target organism, level of organic contamination and any applicable statutory or manufacturer dilution guidance.
DEFRA-Approved, Iodophor, Peracetic Acid & QAC Disinfectants
Different farm disinfection tasks require different active chemistries and formulations.
The category includes glutaraldehyde and QAC-based disinfectants such as GPC8 and Omnicide, iodophor disinfectants such as Fam 30 and V18, peracetic acid/peroxide-based products such as Peradox and Vanodox, and detergent-disinfectant formulations such as Vanoquat. These products support a range of applications including animal housing, equipment hygiene, dairy environments, food-processing support areas and vehicle disinfection. (astralhygiene.co.uk)
Some products in the category are also suitable for broader hygiene programmes, including dairy and food-processing applications, while others are more specifically positioned for agricultural biosecurity. For that reason, the page should focus on farm disinfectants and livestock biosecurity products while allowing individual product pages to carry the more specific technical and disease-related claims.
