Tixafly Cattle Dip And Spray ( Ethion & Deltamethrin)

Tips For Use

General Instructions:

1. The required amount of Tixafly should be mixed in a small quantity of water and then poured directly into the dip, along its whole length, then stirred.

2. Stirring the wash. Tixafly wash in plunge dips must be thoroughly stirred before dipping or whenever replenishments have been made. At the start of dipping use 30 head of cattle as stirrers and re-dip them later in the run. Whenever wash has been standing it should be stirred before re-use.

3. Corrections for evaporation, leaking or flooding 

(a) Before dipping, check the level and compare it with the level at the end of the previous dipping.

(b) If the level has fallen because of evaporation, add water only to bring it to the level at the completion of the previous dipping.  Consistent low levels may indicate leakage, especially in old dips.

(c) If the level has risen because of flooding, add TIXAFLY only. Use 1 litre of TIXAFLY for every 400 litres rise in the dip.

(d) After correction, top up at the replenishment rate of 1 litre of TIXAFLY to each 400 litres of water added to fill the dip.

4. Cleaning out the plunge bath. When the dip becomes very muddy it should be cleaned out and recharged. Do not discharge waste liquid into streams.
5. Dipping care. Care should be taken when handling stock during plunge dipping. This applies particularly to very young calves.
