    Test K-DES N.2 Applied in Birds avoids the decomposition

    and allows the preservation of organic matter.

    www.abc-des.com

    TO SUMMARIZE:

    - Product K-DES is a 25% water solution that avoids the decomposition and

    allows the preservation of organic matter, not only when applied by spraying but

    also when applied by immersion.

    - Product K-DES is a 25% water solution that avoids the decomposition and

    allows the preservation of organic matter, even after the process of

    decomposition has already started.

    - Product K-DES can be reused without reducing its preserving effect, avoids

    the decomposition and allows the preservation of organic matter.

    - When used by spraying, product K-DES preserves and avoids the

    decomposition and allows the preservation of organic matter for over 96 hours.

    The application of a 25% water solution of K-DESprovides the samples with

    an insect repellent and leaves them soft enough to ease its future treatment and

    elimination.

    - For the reason that K-DES must be applied by spraying when a farming scope

    is concerned, and waiting for new tests for this to be confirmed, we can draw

    the conclusion that bodies can remain for a period of 96 hours without great in-

    convenience for the environment.

    - K-DES is a nontoxic product, nor ADR, which avoids the decomposition and

    allows the preservation of organic matter, helping the bio safety of the

    environment in which it is applied.

    Previous notes on the test

    Objective

    The aim is to carry out a study of the application of K-DES on birds, in order to as-

    sess its effect as a disinfectant and preservative of organic matter.

    Test conditions

    Across this document, daily observed conditions are referred to. It can be added up

    that samples have been maintained in the open air, therefore under the effects of

    the environment, and subjected to likely flies and insects action, proper of the urban

    environment in which they were staying.

    The test took place over a period between 26th of May and 7th of June 2006, in thecity of Vigo.

    It has to be remarked that over this period, we have been under very high tempera-

    tures, not proper of the region, nor the time of the year, many times over 35C, fact

    that is important to be noticed, due to the way high temperatures affect to the proc-

    esses to be observed.

    For the assessment of the treatment, variables such as appearance, smell, flies and

    insects presence, were used. All of them are symthoms of decomposition that are

    not subjective issues anymore, due to the important effects observed as a conse-

    quence of K-DESapplication.

    The person in charge of the study, Mr. Javier Chvez, is an expert in embalming,

    with many years of experience in human and animal corpse handling, which gives

    him a knowledge to detect small details, proper of organic matter decomposition,

    which are referred to in this report.

    Before the start of the test

    Now we can see three birds right before the application of K-DES. The birds were

    slaughtered after 20 hours, with the application being done at 9,30 pm, having an air

    temperature of 25C, time at which the next pictures were taken. The study consists

    of three hens, one of them used as a reference sample, which has been given label

    A. Samples labelled as B and C were sprayed on with a 25% water solution of the

    product.

    Start of the test

    OBSERVATIONS

    K-DES is a translucent product, not crystalline, of quick action and with a very par-

    ticular smell, what allows to differenciate treated from not treated samples, in a se-

    cure and easy way.

    Application of the product is done in an easy way by pressurized spraying on the bodies

    to be treated, which easies the adhearence of the product to the body surface, thus

    getting a high grade of impregnation.

    As mentioned above, 3 birds were selected, and classified as follows:

    Sample A was used as a reference sample, not being previously treated.

    Samples B and C were sprayed on with a 25% water solution of K-DES.

    Day 1 27-05-2006

    The test was started on 27th may, at 8 pm, having an air temperature of 29C,

    though temperatures around 34C were reached across the day.

    During the first 24 hours, not many changes can be observed just by looking at the

    sample. However, K-DESsmell can perfectly be perceived in samples B and C. An

    unpleasant smell can be noticed from hen A.

    Day 2 28-05-2006

    Day second of tudy. Day 28, at 9 pm, having an air temperature of 30C. Tempera-

    tures of 34C were reached across the day.

    Sample A - Reference

    On this day, important changes can be observed just by looking at it, mainly when

    smell is concerned. An unpleasant smell is perfectly perceptible in case A, with flies

    being present. A slight swelling can be observed in the head.

    It has to be taken into account that, obviously, all along the day, the already men-

    tioned flies have been in contact with the body, with the process of egg-laying being

    started. This simple fact can represent a big problem in the farming environment,

    where its proliferation will be much greater and faster than in an urban environment

    similar to the one in which test took place.

    Samples B and C- Spraying

    As for the cases B and C, K-DES smell is still perceptible and, just by looking at

    them, no great changes can be observed.

    As it can be observed from the next pictures, the colour of the plumage of samples

    that have been treated with K-DES is slightly clearer than sample As and at this

    moment, flies are not around, despite they are two metres away from sample A,

    aproximately.

    The fact that insects are not closer is because of K-DES repellent effect, what

    shows that, if K-DES is applied, the presence of outer agents contributing to the

    putrefaction process is avoided, for instance flies.

    After 17 hours

    Third day of study. On day 29, these first pictures have been taken after 17 hours,

    on an air temperature of 34C. Even higher temperatures have been reached across

    the day.

    Sample A - Control

    Due to the fact that a remarkable deterioration was observed in sample A on the day

    before, we decided to carry out a tighter vigilance on it, in order to intervene if nec-

    essary. So data takes were done earlier.

    Sample A smell, 69 hours after the slaughter, is nauseating and the swelling is no-

    table. Besides, we observe another sign of decomposition, say dehydration. There-

    fore we can draw the conclusion that the body is in an advanced stage of post-

    mortem processes. Several signs, as eye movement, allow us to claim the presence

    of larvae inside the animal.

    Samples B and C- Spraying

    In cases B and C, the smell of decomposition starts to be perceptible, though slight.

    However, swelling is minimal, as it can be seen in case B, where it can be observed

    around the eye. In case C, a slight swelling can be observed in the body. The pic-

    tures below show these differences:

    Sample B New spraying

    At this moment, after three days from the start, and right after the check carried out

    on sample A, we decided to do a new application of K-DES on sample B, so as to

    observe its evolution on the next days. Also, we decided to put off the second appli-

    cation of K-DES on sample C until the moment of the second check of the day (at

    9,40 pm), thus checking the differences between the two ways of application.

    Third day of study. Day 29, 9,40 pm, air temperature 25C.

    Sample A Reference

    The pictures show that the swelling process in case A is still on, the smell is very

    strong, more body fluids can be observed (remember that no application was done

    on this sample, therefore, fluids observed are no other than the ones corresponding

    with corpse dehydration). In addition, eye movement can be observed, what indi-

    cates that it wont take long for larvae to come outside.

    At the moment of doing the second data take of the day, having into account the

    deterioration of sample A and knowing that, in case of letting the natural process of

    decomposition go on, the sample should be inmediately removed to avoid the risk of

    infection, an application of K-DES was done in order to observe the effect of the

    product on a body in an advanced stage of decomposition.

    First result, right after the application of the product, was unpleasant smell reduction.

    As it can be observed, after this period of time, corpse phenomena start to show. It

    has to be remarked that, though flies are around, they dont land on the body.

    reached around 34C along the day.

    Sample A Reference

    In case A, not many changes can be perceived, only smell is perceptible, but toler-able. However, when applying the maintenance product, many larvae started to

    come out from the inside of the corpse, what indicates that larvae reproduction oc-

    curs very fast.

    After product application, larvae came outside due to the product repellent effect,

    and died after a few seconds. As well as larvae, a small collection of other necro-

    phagous insects appeared and died almost at once. Besides, it can be observed

    that, due to K-DESmaintenance dosage, there are no flies around, despite the bird

    is in an advanced stage of decomposition.

    Before product application.

    Samples B and C - Spraying

    In cases B and C there are no signs of corpse fauna. Only internal changes from

    decomposition can be observed, i.e. body swelling.

    It is due to bacteria proliferation produced by the autolysis phenomenon. Along the

    process, these bacteria produce gases that stay in the inside of the body, thus caus-

    ing body swelling.

    Sample A Reference

    As it can be seen in next pictures, internal larvae that have been in touch with the

    product, though many of them, are dead, as well as necrophagous insects. Flies do

    not come closer to the corpse and smell, though strong, is tolerable.

    Having into account the state of deterioration of the sample and once the effect of

    the product K-DES over a body in an advanced stage of decomposition has been

    shown, it was decided not to do any other application and to remove the sample

    from the study.

    ture of 22C. As well as in earlier days, temperature has been high along the day.

    Sample A Reference

    Sample A has been removed.

    Samples B and C Spraying

    Smell in cases B and C is still slight, corpse fauna is now present in a small amount

    and only in the cloaca zone, in sample B. Unlike larvae observed in sample A, these

    are small, in a small quantity, and no necrophagous insects can be seen.

    Anyway, after all these days, it could be said that samples remain in a good state

    and not causing any problem to its environment, since the presence of insects and

    flies is very scarce and, as well as in earlier days, they dont land on the samples.

    Day 9 04-06-2006

    Ninth day of study. Day 4, pictures taken at 10 pm, having an air temperature of

    22C. Very high temperature along the day, close to 30C.

    Sample B and C Spraying

    With the aim of checking how long the samples can be kept, it was decided not to doany other application of K-DES, so as to check the efficiency of the remaining

    product stuck to the body.

    After 9 days from the start of the test, smell of putrefaction is still slight and larvae

    amount is still minimal in the cloaca zone. The amount of present flies is scarce.

    They fly around the samples rather than land on them.

    It must be remarked that, though in case B there are small larvae in the cloaca zone,

    no corpse fauna can be observed in sample C, bearing in mind that the second ap-

    plication of K-DES in sample C was made four hours afterwards than in sample B.

    This may be caused by the difference existing between beings and individuals when

    K-DESapplication is concerned.

    Humidity that can be observed in the attached pictures has not been caused by any

    application of K-DES, but by corpse dehydration itself, as it can be clearly seen.

    Samples B and C Spraying

    Despite the time that has already past, samples are still in a good state, after 48

    hours from the last application of the product. Unpleasant smell is still slight in both

    samples, larvae amount is still minimal in the cloaca zone in case B, not being pre-

    sent in case C. Flies amount, as in earlier days, is scarce, they dont land on the

    surface but are around the bodies.

    Next pictures were taken after 72 hours from the application of K-DES

    .

    No out-standing changes can be observed, with measurements being the same as in the

    last days, i.e a slight smell perfectly tolerable, though in this case, no larvae nor flies

    or insects can be observed around any of the samples.

    reached over 35C.

    Sample B and C Spraying

    After 12 days of test, and with no other application of the product, it can be observed

    that the samples are in a good state of preservation, with a slight smell, perfectly

    tolerable, and in a high stage of dehydration. However, larvae are not to be seen in

    the outside, and the amount of flies near the corpses is minimal.

    Note: It has to be remarked that temperature in Galicia on these dates were affected

    by the irruption of a strong Saharian air current, having temperatures that are not

    common for the days on which the test was carried out nor for the region.

    On the other hand, it has to be noticed that the birds were left in the open air, on the

    upper part of a building, on terraces exposed to an intense insolation, what caused

    that temperatures might have been higher than the ones referred to in this docu-

    ment, which are the ones officially registered.

    15BConclusions Test K-DES II

    Conclusions

    - The effect of the application of K-DESby spraying a 25% water solution, re-

    duces unpleasant smell, proper of organic matter putrefaction

    - The effect of the application of K-DESby spraying a 25% water solution, re-

    duces the amount and size of larvae and necrophagous insects, proper of in-

    ternal decomposition of animal corpses.

    - The effect of the application of K-DESby spraying a 25% water solution, re-

    duces body swelling, proper of body putrefaction.

    - The effect of the application of K-DESby spraying a 25% water solution, re-

    duces body dehydration, proper of animal corpses putrefaction.

    - As a summary of all the above mentioned, we must draw the conclusion that

    product K-DES in a 25% water solution, causes the effect of preventing

    decomposition of organic matter once it has been applied by spraying, thus

    slowing down the process.

    - Product K-DES in a 25% water solution causes the effect of stopping the

    process of decomposition of organic matter, even when it is in an advanced

    stage.

    - The application of a 25% water solution of K-DES causes a repellent effect

    against flies and insects, providing the bodies with protection against exter-

    nal agents action, what can intervene in the process of putrefaction of or-

    ganic matter.

    - Product K-DES, in a 25% water solution, if applied by spraying, preserves

    and prevents organic matter from decomposition for a period of over 96

    hours.

    15BConclusions Test K-DES II

    - Since the application of K-DES in the farming scope will be done by spray-

    ing, and waiting for new tests to confirm that, we can draw the conclusionthat bodies can be kept in a good state for a period of over 96 hours, without

    being a great inconvenience for the environment.

    - The repellent effect of K-DES avoids that flies land on the corpses and the

    process of egg-laying, as well as it prevents them from being a vehicle of in-

    fection.

    - Apart from the repellent effect of K-DES, it also acts as a biocide against

    larvae resulting from putrefaction, and eliminates them as soon as they come

    outside.

    - On the other hand we can draw the conclusion that if applied in the way it

    has been done through this test, it means an alteration to corpse fauna de-

    velopment. Although this development at an internal level cannot be avoided,

    it has been modified and reduced, (having a smaller amount of larvae with a

    smaller size). This phenomenon might be caused due to the impossibility of

    larvae coming outside, because of the repellent and biocidal effect of the

    product, or due to the alterations caused by the product at an external level,

    which are transmitted to the interior of the corpse, thus changing internal

    conditions.

    - These results have been achieved from a reduced number of birds, but if ex-

    trapolated to an exploitation with a bigger number of corpses, we reckon that

    flies and insects would act much sooner and with a greater intensity, thus

    accelerating the process of putrefaction, mainly in individuals that have not

    been treated with K-DES and so making the differences clearer to observa-

    tion.

    - So, we could draw the conclusion that, still more tests to be done that confirm

    these results, the applicaiton of a 25% water solution of K-DES by spraying

    on an animal corpse after its death, and repeating the application every 48

    hours, would slow down the processes of putrefaction and decomposition for

    a period of over 96 hours, without causing unpleasant or harmful effects inthe environment where the corpse is being preserved, thus avoiding the
