Thinking the same thing, could you mix it in a bucket so the footbath pump can add it in?How are folks adding the copper sulphate just throwing it in the foot baths are getting it to dissolve in a bucket then adding to foot bath?

That's brilliant, didn't realise they did liquid version, do you mix any peracetic acid with this aswel?
Foot baths do not cure digital dermatitis, they only prevent it. Lift and treat them. That’s my experience but I have an undersized bath. 80 gallon for 550 cows.We seem to have a bit of digi in our cows (mainly in a batch we bought) that we could do with clearing up a bit before winter, what % copper and formalin are you using and do you use them separately in the foot bath or mixed together
We have been running then through 2% formalin a couple of times a week
We have ditched the auto bath and now all cows go through a formalin 2/3% bath on 4 consecutive days every week, incidents of Digi are virtually non existent nowWe seem to have a bit of digi in our cows (mainly in a batch we bought) that we could do with clearing up a bit before winter, what % copper and formalin are you using and do you use them separately in the foot bath or mixed together

We are lifting the bad ones and treating but need to change how we are foot bathing to prevent itFoot baths do not cure digital dermatitis, they only prevent it. Lift and treat them. That’s my experience but I have an undersized bath. 80 gallon for 550 cows.
Why did you ditch the auto bath?We have ditched the auto bath and now all cows go through a formalin 2/3% bath on 4 consecutive days every week, incidents of Digi are virtually non existent now
It is linked to two robots but the 3rd robot doesn't exit through it, my logic was that all the cows would at some point travel through it during the day. We also found it became quite heavily soiled.Why did you ditch the auto bath?
