Steve Tyler, agricultural salesman for DiverseyLever, said the company had struggled with demand but more would be available by the end of the week. Production of its IodelFD had been upped, with nightly deliveries to the south west of England and Wales, he said. Since the start of the week, the company had sent out in the region of 500 cases of disinfectant to Devon and Cornwall alone, he added. It expects to produce 54 million litres of its Vikron S over the next seven days. A spokesman said disinfectant was being distributed as fast as it was reaching its depots.

Once diluted, a spokesman who promised next-day delivery claimed, the cost worked out at less than 1ppl. The full list products approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and details of dilution rates can be found by visiting the MAFF website . However, Ministry officials are stressing that dilution rates only relate to effectiveness when applied to a clean surface. They are advising farmers to thoroughly wash or spray with an approved product and ensure that dung and litter is removed.
