Paxton FB3 3m Rectangular Cattle Footbath - 541 Litres

Paxton footbaths are durable, portable, and effective containers designed for administering foot care treatments to livestock, particularly sheep and cattle. Made from high-quality plastic, they offer a hygienic and efficient solution for preventing and treating common hoof ailments.

 Key Features and Benefits:

• Durable, One-Piece Construction: Paxton footbaths are manufactured from a single piece of tough polyethylene, making them exceptionally strong and leak-proof. This seamless design eliminates weak points and ensures the bath can withstand the rigours of farm use, including exposure to treatment chemicals and heavy animal traffic.
• Effective & Hygienic Design: The ribbed base is a key feature, as it encourages the animal's hooves to spread, ensuring the treatment solution reaches all parts of the hoof and between the digits. The smooth, non-porous plastic is easy to clean and disinfect, preventing the carry-over of diseases and maintaining a high level of hygiene.
• Portability and Versatility: Being lightweight, Paxton footbaths are easy to move and can be set up quickly wherever they are needed, whether in a field, race, or yard. Their design allows them to be used individually or connected in a series to create a longer, multi-stage treatment area for larger flocks or herds.
• Safety for Animals: The plastic material has smooth, rounded edges to protect livestock from injury. It is also non-toxic and won't react with the chemicals used in most foot treatments, ensuring the safety of the animals.
• Weather and Chemical Resistance: The UV-stabilized polyethylene material is resistant to a wide range of chemicals and will not degrade or become brittle from sun exposure. This makes the footbaths a long-lasting and reliable tool for a farmer's animal health regimen.

Paxton footbaths are an essential part of animal husbandry and are used for:

• Preventive Care: Regularly treating sheep and cattle to prevent common hoof diseases like foot rot.
• Treatment of Ailments: Administering medicated baths to animals with existing hoof problems.
• Routine Health Checks: Integrating into a livestock handling system to ensure all animals are treated effectively and efficiently.
