CID 20 – The Ultimate Agricultural Detergent & Disinfectant for Superior Farm Hygiene

Introduction: Why Farm Hygiene Matters More Than Ever

CID 20 – The Ultimate Agricultural Detergent & Disinfectant for Superior Farm Hygiene; In today’s intensive agricultural operations, maintaining optimal hygiene standards is no longer optional – it’s a critical component of animal health, productivity, and food safety. Pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella, and mastitis-causing bacteria can devastate livestock operations, leading to reduced milk yields, increased veterinary costs, and potential regulatory issues.

CID 20 represents a breakthrough in agricultural cleaning technology – a highly alkaline detergent and disinfectant specifically engineered to meet the unique challenges of modern farming. Unlike conventional products that require separate cleaning and disinfection steps, CID 20 delivers complete microbial control and organic matter removal in a single application, saving time, labor, and water while providing unmatched protection against disease transmission.

Developed by CID LINES, a global leader in hygiene solutions, this formulation combines scientific innovation with practical farm experience to create what many agricultural professionals consider the gold standard in livestock facility sanitation.

The Science Behind CID 20: How It Works

Advanced Alkaline Chemistry

CID 20’s powerful formula operates on multiple levels:

1. Protein Denaturation: The high pH (approximately 12-13) breaks down complex proteins found in milk, blood, and organic matter

2. Fat Saponification: Converts stubborn fats and greases into water-soluble compounds

3. Microbial Membrane Disruption: Destroys the cell walls of bacteria and viruses

4. Biofilm Penetration: Special surfactants reach deep into protective microbial layers

Validated Efficacy Against Agricultural Pathogens

Independent laboratory testing confirms CID 20 – The Ultimate Agricultural Detergent & Disinfectant for Superior Farm Hygiene’s effectiveness against:

• Mastitis pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, E. coli

• Zoonotic threats: Salmonella spp., Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes

• Viruses: Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), avian influenza

• Fungi: Aspergillus, Candida species

Comprehensive Application Guide 

Dairy Farm Applications;

Milking Equipment Sanitation

• Pre-milking preparation: 0.5% solution for teat dipping (check local regulations)

• Post-milking CIP: 1-2% solution at 55-60°C (131-140°F) for 7-10 minute cycle

• Bulk tank cleaning: 2% solution with 15-minute contact time

Parlor Hygiene Protocol

1. Pre-rinse with 35-40°C water (95-104°F)

2. Circulate 1.5% CID 20 solution for 10 minutes at 60°C (140°F)

3. Final rinse with sanitized water

4. Weekly acid wash to prevent mineral buildup (alternate with CID 20)

Livestock Housing Management

Poultry Operations

• Between flocks: 3% solution applied via foam or pressure washer

• Drinking lines: 1% solution circulated for 30 minutes weekly

• Egg handling equipment: 1.5% solution with 5-minute contact time

Swine Facilities

• Farrowing crates: 2% solution after power washing

• Feeding systems: 1% solution in automated cleaning cycles

• Transport vehicles: 3% solution with 10-minute contact time

Specialty Applications

• Milk replacer equipment: 1% solution prevents bacterial contamination

• Calf housing: 2% solution between occupants reduces scours transmission

• Biosecurity foot baths: 2% solution refreshed daily

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: Can CID 20 – The Ultimate Agricultural Detergent & Disinfectant for Superior Farm Hygiene replace acid washing in dairies?
    A: While CID 20 handles organic cleaning excellently, periodic acid washing (every 7-10 days) remains necessary for mineral scale removal.

    Q: Is it safe for automatic drinker systems?
    A: Yes, at 1% concentration with thorough rinsing. Monitor animals initially for any water intake changes.

    Q: How does it perform in hard water?
    A: CID 20 contains sequestrants that maintain efficacy up to 30°dH water hardness.
