Benefits
Zinc Sulphate vs Copper Sulphate vs Formaldehyde?
- Zinc Sulphate (Premier FootCare or Hoof 1-2-3)—we rely on it in a Premier SureFoot™ Foot Bath for mass treating and preventing footrot and/or foot scald. But it takes longer exposure time (10 minutes) to “work” than other options.
- Copper Sulphate—effective and quick. Corrodes metal gates (and even the nails and screws in wooden gates). Thus we use it only for topical treatments like FootCure™.
- Formaldehyde—kills bacteria rapidly. Can make hooves brittle. Poses serious health risks to human and animal skin (particularly eye tissue).

Ingredients:

How to Use
For use in Premier SureFoot™ Foot Bath: Mix 1 quart per 50 gallons of water. Change mixture every 300 head (more often if the sheep's/goat's feet are caked with mud or manure).

Gave it 3 stars because almost 25% leaked out into shipping box. Product performed as it was supposed to.
Henry O from Washington
Seems to be very effective and easy to use.

We have maintained a small flock of sheep (120 ewes) for more than fifteen years, and we use our foot-bath set-up every summer. Typically we run our flock and all of the lambs born during May and June through the foot-bath twice a summer, and three times, some years. Using Premier FootCare Concentrate in the foot-bath makes a noticeable, positive difference every year, and we think it is easy to work with and reasonably priced.

It didn’t work on my sheep, they still have sore feet, it’s not foot rot either.

Works well for minor to moderate foot rot alone. In bad cases, use this in conjunction with an antibiotic and it really knocks it down.
