Spray methods to protect livestock before winter weather
Michigan State University experts advise spraying dairy cattle to cover the entire body as cold weather approaches. Use eight pounds of 50 percent methoxychlor per 100 gallons water, or eight pounds equivalent in alternate forms, with lindane as another option. Do not use DDT on dairy cows. For small amounts, eight tablespoons per gallon provides the needed strength. Sprays on a clear day reduce cold risk. cattle will dry and move to stay warm.
