The Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games’ goal of being environmentally responsible has lead to the selection of Anivac Corporation as the official disinfectant company of the games. Anivac is supplying ‘Accel’ brand disinfectants and Anivac equipment to clean and disinfect all stabling areas at the park, as well as the quarantine facilities at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (prior to each flight of horses).
The Accel brand uses a new disinfectant technology (AHP – Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide) that holds five patents worldwide. AHP provides the perfect balance between safety and efficacy—effective against even the most stubborn viruses and bacteria, while being a safer alternative to traditional disinfectant chemistries for animals, people and the environment. AHP is a hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectant that when dry, converts to water vapor and oxygen. Anivac’s leading technologies will help keep disease out of the quarantine premises as horses arrive for their mandated quarantine time periods prior to competing at the games.
The Games’ temporary quarantine facility at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport will inspect and process approximately 600 horses, with the first horse shipments arriving from Europe on September 16th.
“The Games will be protected with an incredibly powerful yet environmentally safe product in Accel,” said Dave Hachey, President of Anivac Corporation.
