About this product Hygeia Winter sheep dip is for the treatment and control of sheep blowfly and scab. Emulsifiable concentrate to be used as a dip.

Replenishing the Bath: - Baths less than 2,250 litres (500 gallons): after every 36 sheep dipped, add 1 litre into the dip tank and sufficient water to restore the bath to its original volume. - Baths greater than 2,250 litres (500 gallons): after every 90 sheep dipped, add 2.5 litres into the dip and sufficient water to restore the bath to its original volume. - When a bath becomes foul always empty it and refill with fresh dip, as sheep will not be as effectively treated or protected as those passed through earlier.
