Radicate is a concentrated solution in a 10 litre drum. One part Radicate is mixed with ten parts water to create a treatment strength solution that has no evident odour and mixes readily. The initial charge for a footbath will require 44 litres of treatment strength solution per square metre of footbath.
The number of treated sheep per litre of working strength solution will vary between 8 and 10, depending on the footbath system used. However, an average of 90 sheep per litre is easily achievable. After initial charging, a 10 litre drum of Radicate will treat up to1000 sheep.
Radicate is best used in concrete, plastic or fiberglass footbaths. As Radicate is corrosive, it is NOT recommended for use in metal footbaths.
Any wool discoloration which may occur is temporary and will scour out naturally in 6 to 8 weeks and in accordance with the Australian Wool Scouring Standard AS4054-1992. With Radicate no withholding period is required.
