Note 8 — SUGGESTIONS CONCERNING THE HYGIENE OF COW-STABLES AND THE PRODUCTION OF MILK FOR INFANT-FEEDING, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO TUBERCULOSIS.
Charles Bolduan translation
§2 includes the following disinfecting agents:
1. Water, steam, hot water, boiling for one hour.
2. Soap-suds.
3. Soda-lye solution (at least 2 kilos soda in 100 liters water).
4. Freshly slaked lime, powder, and milk of lime, 1:2 aq. and 1:20 aq.
5. Sol. chloride of lime, 1:3 aq. and 1:20 aq.
6. Sol. carbolic acid, 5%.
7. Sol. crude cresol, 5% (Liquor cresoli saponatus of the German pharmacopœia).
8. Coal-tar and wood-tar.
9. Fire.
The most reliable and cheapest agent for rendering harmless Tb. virus in stables is hot 2% soda solution, whenever a surface disinfectant is desired. Disinfection of the stable air is as yet to be classed only as a pious wish.
