Two years of testing by a highly-credentialed research veterinarian, produced credible, documented results that allow us to bring Banixx™ Wound and Hoof Care to market. His findings were published in the July 2005 issue of the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, the official journal of the World Equine Veterinary Association.
In tests of its anti-fungal capabilities, Banixx™ killed 97% of Aspergillus niger and 99% of Candida albicans. All tests were conducted by BioVir Labs, an independent, accredited laboratory. View the data results:
Antibacterial and Fungal Reduction Activity of Banixx™ Wound and Hoof Care
April 3 and June 15, 2006
Performed by BioVir Laboratories, Inc.
Anti-Bacterial Properties
In separate tests, one to ten million bacterial organisms of Salmonella choleraesuis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus were added to Banixx and results were tested at 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10 minutes later. All tests were run in triplicate. The results are presented below as kill-curves; that is, they illustrate the reduction of organisms over time of exposure. In all tests, the bacterial organisims were "killed", or reduced, to below the detection limit of 1 cfu per mL within ten minutes. The data is presented below.
Anti-Fungal Properties
In separate tests, 500,000 to one million of Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger spores were added to Banixx and results were tested at 1, 2, 5, and 10 minutes later. All tests were run in triplicate. The results are presented below as kill-curves; that is, they illustrate the reduction of organisms over time of exposure. Candida albicans was reduced by about 99% and Aspergillus niger spores were reduced by <95% within 10 minutes. The data is presented below.
