    Lads.

    What strength of iodine solution do ye use on newborn lambs navels? I read somewhere it should be no stronger than 2.5% but the most bottles of iodine solution I have come across are 10%. Also do ye prefer spray or tincture? I know tincture is probably more difficult in an outdoor lambing flock like my own, but then again it's probably better practice. Thanks again...

    I don't dip navels, but if I were i would 10% Iodine mixed 3 parts to 1 of methylated spirits

    Thanks for that I was wondering what it could be diluted with.
