[Jacob-list] Premies

[Donnangelo, Nick]

Lime is non toxic, but the very fine dust is quite irritating to the lungs (ours and theirs) and is bad news if it gets in the eyes, I use it in my horse stalls occasionally when they get really wet but would not recommend it for sheep...   I can't recommend bleach either; bleach plus ammonia in urine emits chlorine gas which is heavier than air and highly irritating... if you absolutely must disinfect I recommend one of the several products available in on line vet supply catalogues, or Pinesol in a pinch.

I would use diluted bleach.  Clean out your pens down to the dirt or concrete.  Get a pump sprayer and spray away.  Make sure if soak the floor especially if it is dirt.  Let it dry and you are fine to go.

I prefer Sweet PDZ or Stall Dry as they are less casutic and not as much as an irritant (especially for the eyes) as lime.  It is a similar type drying product that is for horses.  I use it every time I clean

No, Ag lime, barn lime, is not toxic, but I always like to cover it with some fresh straw after applying it to the dirt floors in our shelters.

Thanks, Carl!  I learn something new from you guys everyday.

If ag lime is ingested, is it toxic?  I have other creatures other than sheep that sometimes make it into the shed.  And some of them will try to eat anything.

Thanks!
