FAQs

Is this safe for organic flocks?

Yes, Barrier D Sheep Dip is formulated specifically for use in organic farming systems.

Can I use this in a sheep shower?

No, this product is not recommended for use in sheep showers; it is designed for immersion bathing.

How long must I wait before meat consumption?

There is no meat withdrawal period required for this product.

Does it work on foot rot?

No, this product is intended to repel ectoparasites like lice and ticks and is not effective against foot rot.

Can I pour the used dip onto the grass?

Yes, it is environmentally friendly and does not require a special license for land spreading.

Why do sheep need three weeks of wool growth?

The wool must be long enough to absorb and retain the plant-derived ingredients for the full six-week protection period.

Troubleshooting

Lack of expected protection duration

Verify that the sheep had at least three weeks of wool growth before dipping and that the immersion was thorough.

Pests persisting after treatment

Ensure the dilution ratio of 1:200 was strictly followed and that the solution was properly mixed in the tank.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before use, ensure you are set up for traditional immersion dipping rather than using a shower unit, as the product is not designed for shower systems. Always calculate the volume of your dip tank and add the Barrier D concentrate at the 1:200 ratio. Store the concentrate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain shelf life. Since the product is environmentally safe, ensure your dip tank area is well-drained so that spent liquid can be collected or directed onto land as permitted by organic standards. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the concentrate.
