Avoiding Losses of Sheep During Dipping
Modern sheep dips are so effective that the Department of Agriculture declares eradieation of lice and ticks to be auite feasible. However, it warns that best results will be achiev- | ec1. only if the instructions for mixing | ! and replenishing dips are followed accurately. Carelessness in dipping can cause disastrous losses. If sheep are dipped off shears, the shcar cuts are likely to become infected and deaths from .blood poisoning may occur, but this can be prevented by vaccinating the sheep with blackleg vaccine at least a fortnight before dipping them. The vaccine is available at a reasonable price. The Department advises that its Veterinarians or Inspectors of Stock be consulted about its use.
