BAFR- Dairy Disinfectant
The disinfection procedure in dairies is mainly
divided into four heads
3. DESCRIPTION
D-H/S IONS is a powerful, highly effective,
broad-spectrum disinfectant that is both stable
and safe.
BAFRY is a solution of Hydrogen Peroxide
(H2O2) which is stabilized with complex
substances. Silver ions are added for long-term
efficiency. Hydrogen peroxide and silver ions
have a synergetic effect as a disinfectant.
4. WHY SILVER STABILIZED ?
Hydrogen peroxide on its own is unstable and can decompose very quickly
to form water and oxygen gas.
Silver is added to increase the stability and shelf life of the product.
In this way, it works by where the silver ions react with the hydrogen
peroxide to form silver oxide and water, which helps to stabilize the
hydrogen peroxide and prevent it from breaking down.
The addition of silver also has the added benefit of reducing the potential for
bacterial growth in the solution.
When correctly applied to water, air or any surface, BAFRY will disinfect
through an oxidization process and continue to safely provide excellent
residual performance.
BAFRY is chlorine and alcohol-free, with no corrosive effects on usual
materials of construction during application. After use, it simply degrades
into harmless water and oxygen.
5. BAFRY has no environmental implications. The primary
component hydrogen peroxide does not contaminate
waste water. Only water and oxygen are formed during its
degradation process, and those are harmless by-products.
Both disinfecting components (H2O2 and silver ions)
have a synergetic effect. The germicidal effect is faster
and more efficient as with the individual substances.
Through the combined efficiency of the oxidation and the
oligodynamic effect a so called “two phase product” has
been created. In contrast to common disinfectants,
BAFRY destroys biofilms. This process is most important
with bacteria and viruses, which have a biofilm as a
protective shield. Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes biofilms
and silver ions can react with the proteins in micro-
organisms.
6. BIOFILM
A biofilm is a group of microorganisms {Bacteria, fungi,
protists} in which cells stick to each other and adhere to
a surface. Biofilms provide bacteria a habitat that is the
ideal environment for survival and replication.
Additionally, the dispersal stage of the biofilm life cycle
enables the spread and colonization of additional
surfaces.
7. MECHANISM OF ACTION
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AS A DISINFECTANT
Hydrogen peroxide is potentially a great biocide. It is a stronger
and more effective oxidizing agent than chlorine and chlorine
dioxide. It is less toxic and breaks down into water and oxygen.
There are downsides to normal hydrogen peroxide however
It reacts with Catalase. Catalase is a protein which
bacteria emit as a shield to protect themselves from hydrogen
peroxide. Different types of bacteria emit different amounts of
catalase. The legionella bacterium emits low levels of catalase
and is relatively easy to kill with the correct strength of Hydrogen
Peroxide, whereas the Pseudomonas bacterium emits high levels
of catalase making it more difficult to kill.
Normal hydrogen peroxide is fairly unstable causing it to
be effective for very short periods of time, particularly when used
as a water disinfectant.
The effectiveness of normal hydrogen peroxide is
compromised by high hot water temperatures.
8. SILVER AS A DISINFECTANT
The weak disinfecting properties of silver have been known since Roman times.
The metal acts as a biostatic rather than a biocidal.
– It stops bacteria breeding rather than killing them, Silver does react with
protein however and therefore has a role to play in removing catalase.
SILVER AND HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (BAFRY)
HOW BAFRY WORKS ?
The positive silver ion in the stabilizing formulation is attracted to the cell wall of
the bacterium by electrostatic attraction. In catalase producing bacterium the
presence of
BAFRY inhibits the defense mechanism, allowing the powerful free hydroxyl
radicals to attack the cell membrane. These free hydroxyl radicals penetrate the
membrane and destroy the bacterium. Once killed the bacterium no longer
emits electrostatic charge. When the attack is complete the peroxide is
attracted back to the silver stabilizing solution maintaining product
concentration in the water.
With its unique combination silver stabilized hydrogen peroxide, BAFRY truly is
the next generation of disinfection technology.

The average dose of D-H/S IONS for the disinfection
of drinking water is 10 mg/l. The content of silver ions in
this dose is 0.005 mg/l. Some examples of legally
allowed maximum contents of silver ions in drinking
water are as follows: Drinking water treated with D-
H/S IONS contains, according to the specific directives,
10 - 20 times fewer silver ions than allowed. The
World Health Organization "WHO" recommends a
maximum harmless absorption of silver ions through
drinking water treatment of 180 μg/day (3 l drinking
water/person/day) with the consumption of 3 liters
drinking water per day and an average dose of D-H/S
IONS of 10 mg/l the absorption is 15 μg of silver. This is
12 times less than the WHO recommendation.
17. BAFR- DAIRY DISINFECTANT
Products of the dairy industry under unhygienic or unsuitable conditions have
increased microbial contamination. With proper sanitation procedures, the rate of
bacterial colony formation (colony forming units, CFUs) greatly reduces along with
effective sanitization.
Sanitation greatly reduces the quantity of contamination, ergo enhancing the quality
of milk reaching the consumer. The fundamental disinfectants of the two concerned
businesses are examined in the relationship to the cleaning and disinfection
strategies.
Dairy Disinfectant decimates all pathogens, and cleans the same. A greater range of
sterilization includes use of pesticides for killing pathogenic vectors, thereby
purifying and sanitizing the tainted surfaces. The decline of microorganisms in the
adjacent surroundings must be diminished to lessen microbial pollution and in this
way pathogen related dairy animals’ sicknesses.
All sheet materials and tools must be expelled before sprinkling and cleaning.
Unclean surfaces affect the disinfecting ability. Also, permeable surfaces are harder
to disinfect than the smooth ones ergo likely to contain heavier soiling.
18. THE DISINFECTION PROCEDURE IN DAIRIES IS
MAINLY DIVIDED INTO FOUR HEADS
a. Housing: The reduction of microbial colonies in the immediate surroundings
diminishes the opportunity for microscopic organisms to cause infections in the
cows as it becomes harder to access the cows.
All beddings and tools before soaking and cleaning must be removed. The way of
the surfaces will impact the adequacy of disinfection.
b. The milking parlour, a high density place harbours a lot of microorganisms
needing disinfection twice daily. Surfaces must be cleaned regularly with a suitable
dairy disinfectant to avoid pathogen multiplication. Similarly to the milking parlour,
the milking machine also needs regular disinfection.
c. Calf pneumonia and calf scours cost these business huge immense losses. The
greatest losses occur when calves are kept in close confinement, increasing the
transmission of the causative agents of Neonatal Calf Diarrhea that builds up in the
immediate environment. The runs can be infections (Rota infection, Crown
infection), microscopic organisms (E. coli, Salmonella) or parasites. All these require
a broad spectrum disinfectant.
19. 2. People: Dairy farmers straightforwardly come in contact with
cows and other equipment , and can be vectors for pathogen
transmission. Quick action, broad spectrum and nontoxic and
gentle for the skin are prerequisites.
3. Milking Area: The milking machine harbours perfect microbial
growing conditions making it essential for a strict disinfection
protocol to be followed.
4. Animals: The contagious/ infectious diseases are crucial and
important to control as they form a chain of hosts. Broad spectrum
disinfectants are crucial for the control of these illnesses and
thusly for farmhouse productivity.
Silver Hydrogen Peroxide marketed under the trade name of
BAFRY by LEAP Trading Company L.L.C Limited is a
universal broad spectrum biocide which acts as a dairy
disinfectant for sterilization of milk and equipment.
