Painless bath for hooves & feet stops lameness

PREVENT lameness with a Fungicidal Foot Bath for sheep or Fungicidal Hoof Bath for cattle which is 100% organic and will not burn or sting animals as an organic acid-based product can, says Barrier Hygiene.

The products are said to contain ingredients that produce an anti-fungal and anti-bacterial disinfectant which is not affected by organic matter.

Sheep and cattle do not need to stand in the solution, they just walk through a 1:200 dilution bath three times, the company adds. The products are also available as a ready-to-use spray.

Fungicidal Foot Bath for sheep costs £46.50 for five litres and the Hoof Bath for cattle is £49.50 for five litres (01935-456363, fax 01953-455594).
