The study was carried out to determine the efficacy of stock concentration of the commonly used
disinfectant as scrub solution for surgical site in goats. The evaluation of efficacy and safety of commercially
available disinfectant and antiseptic (0.3% Chlorhexidine gluconate, 0.4% Chloroxylenol and 4% Povidone
iodine) as scrub solution for surgical site, using stock concentration was assessed in thirty (30) Red Sokoto
goats undergoing non elective surgical procedures at Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Veterinary Teaching
Hospital and Zonal Veterinary Clinic, Sokoto. Colony counting was used to quantify skin bacteria Colony
Forming Unit (CFU) at surgical site before and after skin preparation. Reduction of CFU before and after
preparation was significant with all the three disinfectants compared (p<0.05) and the result shows that
Povidone iodine and Chloroxylenol to be less effecacious than Chlorhexidine gluconate when mean colony
forming unit after two minute of preparing the surgical sites.
Key words: Chlorhexidine gluconate, chloroxylenol, povidone iodine, red sokoto goat, scrubbing solution, surgical site,
