Sheep are guaranteed to be wet to skin level when dipped in a flood dip
Dipping Dynamics' flood immersion dips have advanced to adopt principles widely regarded as the 'gold standard' in sheep dipping. This evolution ensures thorough saturation of sheep to the skin level, facilitated by a considerable number of sheep swimming together, creating turbulent conditions that open the fleece for unparalleled dipwash penetration.
The redesigned Flood Immersion Dip not only achieves superior results but also minimizes operator exposure to dipwash through strategic design, lever placement, and a well-positioned standing platform.
Dipping Dynamics has recently developed and constructed a fully patented Flood Immersion Dip. This innovative system deviates from the traditional method of lowering a group of sheep into a chemical-filled sump. Instead, it employs two robust hydraulic pumps to bring the dip wash directly to the sheep, ensuring complete immersion in the dip wash for enhanced effectiveness.
Features:
- Convenient ground-level or shed loading for sheep
- Assured saturation of sheep to the skin level
- Efficient loading facilitated by a 'walking floor'
- Impressive daily throughput of 4,000 sheep on average
- Spacious draining pen for dip wash recycling, minimizing chemical use
- Side unloading feature for added convenience
- Effective minimization of operator exposure
- Quick setup, wash down, and pack up processes
- Mobile tank on the truck capable of transporting 10,000L of water from the nearest water source to the dip site
Mobile sheep dipping provides flexibility, reduces stress on sheep by dipping them on familiar ground, is cost-effective, allows quick setup, and enhances biosecurity by minimising disease transmission risks between flocks.
Benefits:
- Flexibility and Mobility: Mobile sheep dipping allows farmers to bring the dipping process directly to their flock, offering the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions and locations.
- Reduced Stress on Sheep: Conducting dipping on familiar grounds minimizes stress for sheep, as they are not subjected to the additional stressors of transportation to a distant facility.
- Cost-Efficiency: Mobile dipping units are a cost-effective solution, particularly for smaller farms, as they eliminate the need for a permanent dipping facility and associated infrastructure costs.
- Quick Deployment and Pack-Up: Mobile units enable rapid setup, efficient dipping, and swift pack-up, optimizing the use of time and resources for farmers.
- Enhanced Biosecurity: By keeping the dipping process on the farm, the risk of disease transmission between flocks is reduced, contributing to improved biosecurity practices in sheep management.

Regularly treating sheep for lice is vital to maintain their health and welfare. Lice infestations can lead to skin irritation, discomfort, and weight loss, adversely affecting the overall condition of the flock. Timely intervention not only addresses individual sheep's well-being but also prevents the spread of lice, safeguarding the entire herd. Proactive lice control measures contribute to improved wool quality, prevent economic losses, and support sustainable flock management practices, ensuring a thriving and healthy sheep population.
