Sheep should never be dipped on a full stomach, when the wool is wet,

Choose a cool dry day and dip early in the morning.
Rest sheep 2 or 3 hours before dipping.
Rams and fat sheep should be assisted through the bath and lambs
dipped separately from ewes.
Care should be taken to ensure that the sheep do not swallow or inhale
any wash.
The dip should be freshly made and used only on the day of
preparation. Do not retain the dip wash for
a second day’s dipping.
Prepare the bath and dip following detailed instructions. Ensure the
bath and water is clean before
starting to dip. This product does not contain a bacteriostat. If the
bath is allowed to become too fouled,
bacterial infection could become a problem. Monitor the sheep on the
days following dipping and seek
veterinary advice if necessary.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the
veterinary medicinal product to animals
