Creolin: disinfectant, antiseptic and antiparasitic agent for productive animals

general information

Creolin is an oily liquid that, when mixed with water, forms a milky-white emulsion with a shade of gray and a specific odor. The medicine is packaged in vials, bottles, canisters, and barrels with a capacity of 50 g to 200 kg. Varieties of the drug are used according to the scheme:

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

2.1. Phenolic-free coal creolin has an acaricidal effect on the causative agents of psoroptosis in sheep (goats), and has a long-lasting residual effect on the skin and hair. It also has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial action against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi of the genus Candida. In terms of the degree of impact on the animal body, phenolic-free coal creolin belongs to hazard class 3 according to GOST 12.1.007-76 (moderately hazardous substances), in recommended doses it does not have a local irritant or allergenic effect, and does not have a teratogenic or embryotoxic effect.

Kreolin D

The drug is toxic to animals because it contains 3.5% oxybenzene (phenol). The active component with bactericidal activity, naphthalene, is contained in a concentration of 11.5%.

The cost of a 500 ml bottle in July 2022 was 215 rubles.

The components of the drug have high bactericidal activity. To disinfect livestock buildings and auxiliary premises, a working solution is prepared, which is sprayed in the absence of animals using specialized units.

Preventive treatment is carried out with a 3% emulsion with a consumption rate of 0.5 l/m2 and exposure time of 3 hours. For forced treatment, use a 3.5% solution. Exposure and consumption of the working emulsion are the same as for preventive sanitation.

The disinfectant is stored for 3 years at temperatures from –25 to +40 °C.

Phenolic-free coal tar creolin

The active ingredient is naphthalene 11.5%. Has a prolonged acaricidal effect.

The cost of a half-liter bottle in July 2022 is 212 rubles.

In dry, warm weather, after shearing, sheep are treated against the psoroptes skin mite. Sheep are not fed for 5 hours or longer. The floating pit is filled with water and creolin is added to form a 2% emulsion. In order for the drug to destroy ectoparasites, the animal must remain in the pool for 2 minutes. Each animal is dipped with its head on which ticks collect. The sheep are kept near the pit for 15 minutes and given time to drain the acaricidal emulsion. Dried sheep are released to pasture.

Lactating ewes, whose milk is going to be used for food production, as well as weakened and clinically ill ones, are not bathed. The waiting period for meat is 1 day.

If necessary, phenol-free creolin is used to disinfect premises in the same manner as Creolin D. The drug is stored for 2 years at temperatures above –25 °C.

Composition and purpose

The drug Creolin has a third degree of danger, so it should be used with great caution. It includes:

• naphthalene;
• rosin;
• soap;
• ichthyol;
• caustic alkali;
• coal oil.

Thanks to the last component, the solution has long been widely used as an effective insecticide . With its help, in the 20s of the last century, nematodes and aphids on crops, mites, butterflies and bedbug eggs began to be destroyed almost all over the world.

Creolin X

The combined preparation was prepared by adding 2.5 or 5% cypermethrin to phenol-free coal creolin.

The cost of a 0.5 liter bottle in July 2022 was 449 rubles.

Cypermethrin is a second generation pyrethroid. Destroys subcutaneous mites and insects. The drug is dosed according to the content of cypermethrin. That is, the consumption of creolin-X 5% is 2 times less than 2.5%.

The drug is used on the following types of animals:

• sheep;
• cattle;
• pigs;
• bird;
• fur-bearing animals and rabbits.

Kreolin-X in sheep breeding

In dry weather, 3 or more days after shearing, at air temperatures >18 °C, sheep are purchased against psoroptosis. Animals are not fed for 10 hours. Sheep should be given water 2–3 hours before the procedure. The floating bath is filled with water, creolin-X is added to form a 0.005% cypermethrin emulsion. That is, one part of creolin-X 5% per 1000 volumes of water is added to the bathing pit. If a 2.5% drug is used, the ratio is 1:500. For the pyrethroid to kill ticks, the animal must remain in the pit for 1 minute. Each sheep is immersed head-first in the cup emulsion to completely remove ectoparasites. The animals are kept near the pit for 10–15 minutes, and the emulsion is allowed to drain. Preventive purchase is carried out once. For therapeutic purposes, the treatment is repeated after 10–14 hours.

If there is a need to bathe lambs less than a month old, prepare a separate bath. Dairy ewes, as well as weak and sick ones, are not bathed. The waiting period for meat is 15 days.

Kreolin-X in cattle breeding

When attacked by ectoparasites, prepare a working emulsion of the same concentration as when buying sheep. The cattle are sprayed, moistening the entire body, especially the lesions, at the rate of 1.5–3.0 liters per animal. For sarcoptic mange, treatment is repeated after 7–10 days.

On the pasture, animals are sprayed with a solution of 0.008% concentration against mosquitoes, flies and midges - 0.32 g of 2.5% creolin-X / 100 l of water. For calves up to one year old, 0.25 liters are used, for young animals over 12 months old - 0.5 dm3. Depending on the number of parasites, they are treated from twice a day to once a week. Milk can be used for food purposes 12 hours after processing. Meat - after 25 days.

Kreolin-X in pig farming

Used for lice and sarcoptic mange. Prepare a concentrated emulsion - 10 ml of 2.5% creolin-C/l of water or 5 ml of 5%. Treat twice, every 7–10 days. The consumption rate for 1 pig is 0.3–0.5 l. Pension for meat - 25 days.

If necessary, sanitize the premises in the absence of animals with a 0.005% cypermethrin emulsion. The consumption of the working solution is 0.3 l/m2. After an hour and a half exposure, the room is ventilated for 60 minutes. Feeders and drinking bowls are thoroughly washed.

Creolin-X in poultry farming

Chickens are treated if they are attacked by ticks, bedbugs, or feather eaters. After collecting the eggs, the birds are sprayed with 0.005% emulsion at the rate of 1.5–3.0 liters per 100 hens. Sanitation is repeated after 8–10 days. The cut-off for meat is two days.

During a technological break, the room is treated twice. Consumption of working emulsion is 0.15 l/m2. To kill flies, the walls of the poultry house are sprayed with a 0.005% solution in an amount of 0.075 l/m2.

Kreolin-X in fur farming, rabbit breeding

Used for notoedrosis, sarcoptic mange, otodectosis, psoroptosis. Animals are bathed in a solution of 0.005% cypermethrin concentration. If a 5% solution is used, then 0.5 ml of concentrate is added to 1 liter of water, if 2.5%, then 1 ml. The bathing is carried out in a warm room, the animal is immersed in the solution with its head 3 times for two minutes, and the fur is wrung out. For therapeutic purposes, the treatment is repeated every other week. Sheds are sanitized according to the same scheme as pig breeding premises. Restriction on rabbit meat - 15 days.

An alternative processing method is to use an oil solution of Creolin-X. Add 0.5 or 1 cm3 of creolin of 5% or 2.5% concentration to 1 liter of heated vegetable or vaseline oil. If the ears are affected, the emulsion is injected 1-2 cm3 into each ear, even if there are no clinical signs in the second organ. Sanitation is repeated 6–10 days later.

The drugs are stored for 2 years at temperatures from –35 to +40 °C.
