To obtain a uniform wash, premix the measured amount of dip concentrate in a bucket of water. Add the premix to near empty sump or tank. Fill with water. Mix thoroughly.
CONSTANT REPLENISHMENT SHOWER
•Fill sump and tanks and circulate through nozzles to complete mixing.
•FOR BEST RESULTS EMPTY, CLEAN AND REFILL THE SUMP AFTER DIPPING 1 SHEEP PER 2 LITRES OF INITIAL SUMP VOLUME.E.G. EMPTY 1,000 L SUMP AFTER DIPPING 500 SHEEP.
- Keep sump full at all times.

DILUTION RATE: 1:800 or 125 mL/100 L water.
- To avoid BLOOD POISONING wait 10 days after shearing for cuts to heal.
- Remove sharp projections from dip area.
- Do not use biting dogs.
Vaccinate at least 2 weeks before dipping to protect against Blackleg, Malignant Oedema and Pulpy Kidney.

Never dip out from sumps smaller than 10,000 L. Never dip out to below 50% of initial charge volume. Never dip out if more than 1 sheep per 2 L of initial sump volume has been dipped.
To prevent post dipping lameness caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae. If wash is to be used the next day add a bacteriostat immediately after the day’s dipping. BUT only if fewer than 1 sheep per 2 L of sump volume has been dipped.
