Viralclyde is VNJ’s disinfectant for poultry premises and equipment.
What Is Actually In It
Viralclyde combines Glutaraldehyde and a Quaternary ammonium compound. VNJ’s page does not publish an amount for either, so only the ingredient names are stated here.
What the Label Says It Is For
VNJ describes Viralclyde as a “strong disinfectant used for poultry, hatcheries, buildings and equipment to prevent the spread of viruses, fungi, yeasts, molds and bacteria.” That is the manufacturer’s own description, reproduced as published. “Strong” is the manufacturer’s characterization, not an independent claim from this page.
Forms It Comes In
Viralclyde is a liquid. VNJ’s page does not publish a dilution rate or application instruction for it, so no dosing figure appears on this page.
Withdrawal Period
Viralclyde is described as a disinfectant applied to premises and equipment rather than given directly to a bird, and VNJ does not publish a withdrawal period for it. Anyone using a disinfectant of this kind around live birds, feed, or water sources should still confirm safe-use practices with a veterinarian or agrivet.
What This Page Does Not Tell You
This page states what VNJ publishes about Viralclyde: two named disinfecting ingredients, a broad pathogen-control indication, and no published dilution rate. It does not tell a reader how to safely apply it around live birds or how to prevent bird contact with treated surfaces. A veterinarian or agrivet can advise on safe disinfection practices for a poultry setup.
