Why sheep dips are critical to maintaining flock health

Pastoral farmers know all too well the issues that come when their flock is affected by sheep scab – an allergic skin condition that spreads by mites living in sheep’s fleeces. Although prevention is the ideal, affected sheep can still be treated (and reported)  to control the spread of this contagious disease.

For those with the skillset to carry out sheep dipping on their farm, this is often cited as an effective way to treat and control sheep scab.

Paxton’s Sheep Dips

Paxton Agricultural offers a range of sheep dips, manufactured from hard wearing, UV and chemical resistant polyethylene to meet the needs of sheep farmers whether they have a large or small flock. All three sheep dips have smooth surfaces so as not to cause injury to the sheep, ‘drain back’ exit steps, and an anti-splash rim to reduce spillage.
