Tek-Trol, virucidal concentrate

 

I think I pay $25 or so at the vet.  I use it to spray down calf stalls between batches of new calves to limit the spread of scours and pneumonia to the next batch ( or so the theory goes - it seems every batch of 20 I bring in has at least a couple that I have to treat for some ailment or another....)

 

Tek-Trol is "Staphylocidal, pseudomonacidal, salmonellacidal, aspergillocidal, tubercullocidal, virucidal, fungicidal, parvocidal, mildewcidal, deodorant".  Not bad for one bottle!
