On April 15, 2010, Daehan New Pharm Co., Ltd. delivered 3,470 kg of All Clean Up, a trisodium-based disinfectant, after it wased for purchase by the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (NACF) as part of its foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and avian influenza (AI) quarantine program.
The FMD outbreak that began in Ganghwa Island in April is a Class 1 statutory contagious disease that affects cattle, sheep, pigs, and other livestock. It is a viral infection with an incubation period of 2 to 7 days, followed by high fever and symptom onset. Commonly known as “Aphthae” or “mouth-and-foot disease,” FMD is a fatal, Class 1 viral livestock disease that targets cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle, pigs, and goats. Once infected, animals develop a high fever exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, excessive salivation, and blisters on the mouth, hooves, and udders. The mortality rate is approximately 50–60% in pigs and 5–7% in cattle.
Meanwhile, as part of local government quarantine projects related to disinfectant purchases, Daehan New Pharm Co., Ltd. supplied disinfectants to 17 local governments, including Gyeonggi Provincial Government, as of April 2010. All disinfectants supplied by the company are verified, high-quality products that have undergone efficacy testing conducted by university institutions. |
