Virasure-Koi Overview

Virasure-Koi is a range of products especially designed to eliminate the increasing bio-security risks faced by Koi and Koi-Keepers.

The product range consists of products developed especially for use with Koi, so you can be rest assued that the products do exactly what they are intended and are not just a spin off idea from another products or 'yesterday's technology'.

The range has been scientifically researched and is believed to be the most advanced modern science involved in Koi Keeping worldwide, this research and development is ongoing and the range is internationally recognised as the leader in bio-security for fish. The products are produced in clean room standards to ensure that the highest quality is achieved throughout.

 
Why Use Virasure-Koi?

Since its launch in 2005 Virasure-Koi has become the leading choice by professionals and hobbyists alike to offer the most comprehensive solutions available to the bio-security problems associated with Koi.

As we are aware many viral and bacterial infections in Koi can become life threatening, the problem with Koi Keeping is many professionals and hobbyists alike are used to using conventional medications in a Koi pond. In point of fact these 'medications' were never intended for use in Koi and can cause catastrophic long term effects, and yet day in day out are being used as 'common practise' by even so called 'experts'. A number of these products are not even available in the UK any more in any other realm of life, not even under prescription, because of the nature of the harmful chemicals. However these so called 'treatments' find themselves in nearly every Koi Keepers cupboard nationwide and descriptive uses are even offered in our monthly Koi magazines as if they are 'factual dosages' the fact is there is nothing 'factual' about them. Many are proved to be carcinogenic (proved to cause cancer) and yet Keepers are more than happy to use them, let them touch our skin, and even are dosing our Living Jewels with them.

It is time that Koi Keepers moved on from these days of old. We now have a modern safe alternative to these nasty chemicals, one that has been described as a 'miracle of modern science' Virasure-Koi pond conditioning tablets offers Keepers a safe modern alternative to an array of cocktails of products at one more cost effective price.

Virasure-Koi conditioned ponds have revolutionised Koi Keeping around the globe, promoting environments where immunity in fish is not compromised, and the Koi can lead normal healthy existence, by conditioning the pond into a healthy state it 'creates a perfect environment for Koi to thrive'. One simple weekly dose in your pond brings almost unthinkable results in your koi, by reducing infections and boosting well being.

The Virasure-Koi hand foamer is just as advanced helping to sanitise your hands away from a sink without alcohol means that your hands remain supple, lending it useful just for everyday life but also to use to bio-protect yourself from your fish and also your fish from you.

 

 

 
What Is Virasure-Koi

Virasure-Koi is a uniquely formulated highly virucidal disinfectant for use with Koi Carp (Nishikigoi) and other aquatic species such as Orf or Sturgeon. Virasure-Koi has the best efficacy of any known disinfectant for this purpose and has become the leading choice for Koi hobbyists, Koi Professionals such as Breeders and Dealers and Top Fish Veterinarians alike.

 

Virasure is approved by Defra for control of notifiable diseases such as Infectious Salmon Anaemia and many more. (see separate data sheet)

 

Virasure-Koi is the most modern disinfectant available and has at least 25 years on any other products in this category, in that time there has been huge advancements in science and biosecurity. Virasure-Koi is the most up to date advanced disinfectant in the world.

 

Virasure-Koi is the product of choice against all viruses including Herpes including KHV (Koi Herpes Virus) when as scientists believe it is confirmed as a herpes Virus.

 

Virasure-Koi does not contain harmful Detergents, that impact on the environment and are known to cause suffering to fish including Koi.

 

Virasure-Koi and the way it sanitises water with the presence of Koi is not seen as a medicine under the UK’s medicines legislation but a preventative measure; it can be used in the UK as it is fully biodegradable and is safe for the environment thereby.

 
Vaccination

This document provides information as to how to use Virasure-Koi as Biosecurity for Vaccination.

 

Vaccination is the time when a Koi is at the highest risk of infection, it is not unusall for an infection caught during vaccination procedures to infect all other koi in the pond.

 

Vaccination always leads to a displacement in the Koi’s own mucus immune defence system and the penetrating needle can also carry infection easily from the last treatment directly into the other Koi.

 

Vaccination is a stressful time for the Koi.

 

Vaccination equipment can be used across many sites and a number of times therefore carrying a huge cross infection risk.

Mortality rates are high from vaccination especially during the summer period when temperatures are more substantial.

 

Things that must be considered

Personal biosecurity by use of Virasure-Koi Foamer, helps protect the fish mucus.

Continually disinfect all surfaces by spraying with the Virasure-Koi Spray.

Regularly disinfect all needles and vaccination equipment by dipping in the solution.

 

People

Dips for shoes and any waterproof clothing should be sprayed including gloves after each vaccination.

Virasure-Koi Hand Sanitising Foamers should be used.

 

Equipment and Surfaces

Nets should be thoroughly sprayed or dipped at regular intervals or after each vaccination.

 

Water Conditioning

You should also condition your pond as the standard dose of Virasure-Koi to help protect against cross infection and to help the Koi’s immune system to recover quicker.

 

 

 
Solution Dips

Footbaths, Wheeldips and Equipment Dips

 

All of the content of this data sheet is designed to try and help you get the most out of using Virasure-Koi and provides further information as to how it can be used

 

 

Making up Virasure-Koi for footdips, Koi-Equipment Dips and Wheeldips.

 

  • The amount of Water in your Dip (this will be either written on the side of the dip or you will have to calculate it)

 

  • Without this figure you cannot get the correct dosage rate to use Virasure-Koi, too little Virasure-koi will not do what it is intended to do, too much is a waste.

 

  • Tap water is advised for use, as saline water will speed up reaction times and mean that you will need to top up quicker.

 

  • Make up the solution in a smaller quantity first and make sure Virasure-Koi is fully dissolved, to dissolve quicker you can agitate with a clean impliment, as any residue means that the strength is not correct, then pour this solution into your dip, this will ensure consistency.

 

 

It is suggested that clean surfaces will mean that the product is more effective, therefore clean off any debris before dipping boots or equipment.

 

Please dip your foot ware or your equipment for 30 seconds or more in order to be most effective.

 

The dip will last for up to four days.

 

Please use correct signage for your dip to ensure it is not bypassed.

 

eg. BIOSECURITY NOTICE :

Remove Debris, then dip your equipment for 30 seconds.

 

 

Rinse before restocking the dip.

 

Dosage 200g per 20 litres of solution required. (100g per 10 litres)
