Key features of Barrier D Sheep Dip

• Easy to apply
• Pleasant smell
• Suitable for use on organic farms

Flies start breeding from the end of March.
Total fly eradication is unfeasible, but can be adequately controlled if the right actions are taken before flies have had a chance to establish.

Dipping
For plunge dipping, it is essential to know the capacity of the bath.
Use only the two closed systems to charge the bath and to top up.
Always top up as per instructions; if not, the dip wash will strip out and later sheep will not carry enough ectoparasiticide for it to be effective.
Sheep should never be dipped on a full stomach, when the wool is wet, or when they are heated, tired, thirsty, or suffering from wounds or open sores.
Choose a cool dry day and dip early in the morning.
Rams and fat sheep should be assisted through the bath and lambs dipped separately from the ewes.
It is important to ensure that sheep do not swallow or inhale any wash.
​
Allow dipped sheep to drain in designated draining pens and do not return to pasture until excess dip has been shed. When dipping, use protective clothing, handle equipment carefully and stick to the manufacturer’s instructions.
