Ive never seen digi but we suffer badly from foul usually from August through to housing. It's so cheap i might try walking them through it 4 times a day this year.

Does this Potassium stuff work on its own or would i still need to use formalin, say if i alternated them each day?
You can get PP in liquid form.

That is a terrible way to do it. You are risking causing adverse reactions or not enough to have an effect.Just whizz some in and see,wing it I Always do.
If it's a proper product it will have a concentration and dosage rate.

The only positive I've notices so far is that cows sh!t less before and during going through the baths, must be due to lack of smell compared to formalin.
I noticed that too. One cow in 200 couldn't believe it.

Going back to Laminitis, the dairy industries enemy is Sara the real cause of Laminitis. The cure is feeding enough quality alfalfa hay, not feeding uncured silage and being extremely vigilant keeping ration components free of toxins. I'am from the US and don't know how available alfalfa hay is in the UK. Twenty lb for Holsteins and Fifteen lb for Jerseys has produced optimum results.

So according to the info jimmer put up you should have put 12 teaspoons in there and made them each stand in it for an hour and made sure they didn't sh!t in it.
Alfalfa isn't available, well not economically.
