What are the chemicals used in farming? For the smooth operation of any farm, farmers and landowners will need to use a variety chemicals. For dairy farming, the pipelines, tanks and equipment all need to be thoroughly cleaned frequently to ensure the strict hygiene regulations are adhered to. The feet of both animals and personnel must be kept clean at all times, especially when passing through sensitive areas, to prevent lameness in livestock. Using an agricultural footbath with an effective disinfectant or foot rot treatment is a crucial component of preventing the spread of disease and infection around the farm.
A variety of disinfectants are available for water systems, equipment, and surfaces to ensure a clean and sterile working environment is consistently maintained. One of the most effective disinfectants for the farm is Red Label Hypochlorite. Ideal for use in a variety of settings, such as livestock housing, dairy plants, refrigerated tankers and meat processing areas, sodium hypochlorite is an easy to use formula which you simply dilute before use.
There are also a wide variety of chemicals which are perfect for cleaning your cars, tractors and other farm vehicles.
