What is the best? Where do you buy it? How much does it cost?

I use zinc sulphate, 1kg per 10 ltrs water, costs about €30 - 35 for 25kg,
They stand in it for 5 mins and on clean concrete for 30mins
I know nothing about formalin but it is the handiest in that the ewes only have to walk through it, but it;s terrible stuff to handle

Use formalin - but what rangler said, horrible stuff to handle...

Wouldnt use it in a close space, and you have to be careful when handling... But the ewes don't need to stand in it.

25litre costs about 35euro. Mix it at 3% solution.

Use sure hoof here.they need to stand in it. Get it in any Dairygold coop. About €80 for 5 litres, I think, but will last years. It's biodegradable and isn't dangerous.
