Benzalkonium chloride is a cationic disinfectant with surfactant activity and bactericidal effect on Gram positive, Gram negative, fungicidal and viricidal bacteria on enveloped viruses and belongs to the group of quaternary ammonium compounds widely used in poultry. In this study was available the action of benzalkonium chloride, a first-generation ammonium quaternary, against H1N2 influenza viruses and Newcastle disease virus at a 1: 1000 dilution, without addition of organic matter and contact time of 15 minutes.
