In the agricultural production chain there are several challenges related to microbial and viral infections that can be caused by cross-contamination between animals of the same species or not.
To control or prevent these infections, biocidal agents are usually used, which are chemical or biological compounds that fight pathogenic microorganisms and viruses.
More and more efforts have been made to use broad-spectrum biocidal agents capable of combating emerging pathogens, including viruses, and with the possibility of application in the agro-industrial sectors, as well as in the areas of veterinary and human health.
