What is it?

Aldecoc® CMK is a chlorocresol-based surface disinfectant for livestock farming. Most disinfectants cannot control the extremely resistant oocysts of coccidia and Cryptosporidium; Aldecoc® CMK has demonstrated efficacy against these parasitic protozoan oocysts and against worm eggs at a concentration of just 2%.
