FAQs
What is the recommended dilution rate?
The recommended rate is 0.5kg of Triamvet Copper Sulphate per 90 litres of water.
Should hooves be cleaned before use?
Yes, for maximum effectiveness, hooves should be washed down to remove mud and debris before the animals pass through the bath.
What safety precautions should I take?
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, to avoid skin and eye irritation while mixing.
Can I store the pre-mixed solution?
It is best to prepare fresh solution regularly; storage of mixed baths can lead to contamination or reduced efficacy.
Is this safe for all livestock?
It is intended for hoof hygiene. Consult with your local veterinarian to confirm it is appropriate for your specific herd's needs.
Troubleshooting
Solution is not dissolving completely
Ensure the water is at room temperature and agitate the mixture thoroughly before livestock introduction.
Hoof health is not improving
Verify the dilution ratio and ensure that animals are washing their feet before entering the bath, as organic matter neutralizes the copper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the solution, begin with a clean, empty footbath. Add 0.5kg of Triamvet Copper Sulphate to 90 litres of clean water and stir until fully dissolved. Compatibility depends largely on the purity of your water source; ensure the bath is free of heavy soil accumulation before mixing. Store the product in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of animals. When disposing of the used solution, always follow local agricultural regulations regarding chemical waste and environmental runoff.
