Abattoirs and iodine (sheep)

[muppet]

I’ve got a couple of rams booked in to be slaughtered next week and one of them has now got a bit of fly strike around his horns.

If I give it a good squirt with iodine will he still be allowed to be sent on rather than having to wait for the withdrawal for spot on? If not, I’ll treat him properly and wait.

TIA

Oxytet spray has 0 days withdrawal.

There's nil withdrawal on topical iodine, and the head will be skipped anyway.

Thanks for replies. I’ve done him properly with spot on for now, but good to know for future

I would think Iodine a bit severe for broken skin, so better to use an alternative if you can

It's severe on the maggots.....

Have you ever treated yourself with vet iodine on an open wound?
I do it all the time, but it wouldn't suit everyone.....

i'd rather have iodine on a wound than cypermethrin

For goodness sake, don't let it run into their eyes. Neighbour of ours dehorned his calves a few years ago and ran out of AB spray so squirted iodine in the wound which ran into their eyes and blinded several calves. It was a horrible thing to see the calves with white eyes.

Having had both of them on cuts before and I frequently use iodine for a cut or septiclense (we have a clear septiclense in the house for the wife and kids) not much tops formaldehyde for burning cuts

Iodine cleared up ringworm on my arm in a couple of days earlier this year

How about Battles Maggot oil on the flystruck bit?
