    do the dipping water is harmful if they accidentally swallow it? as I see when the guy tries to turn the sheep forward, sometimes the head's is dipped down to the water. and if I may, is it contain kinda sort of insecticides??

      The sheep’s head is dipped under water to ensure any ticks or fleas etc in the ears are treated, and the sheep’s instinct is to hold its breath when going under.

    Really interesting video.
    I have a question to the solution.
    The Organophosphorus, how toxic is it for the sheeps eyes and skin?
    What kind of solutions do you use?
    For humans it's toxic and even small amounts in the eyes can cause damage.

    Good video. Thanks for the sheep dipping explanation, some people don't understand how farming, and ranching works.
    I was, originally, looking for the Intelligence community version of it, but it probably isn't much different.

      i dont wish them the worst. but all sheep farmers who use sheep dipping should switch places at least one time to feel how this is. especially those who use steel cages to dip 10-20 sheeps at ones for 20-30 seconds under "water" by hydraulic machines.

    • @farming_and_fixing
      @farming_and_fixing  Před 2 lety +5

      If sheep weren’t dipped then the flies that lay eggs in their wool and hatch into maggots would eat their flesh until they die, which would definitely be cruel to the sheep. So yes, it is necessary. If you saw a sheep with a maggot infestation you would agree.
