Calcium arsenite jetting mix for sheep crutch strike control
An Entomological Branch officer reports standard and altered calcium arsenite jetting mixtures for crutch strike protection in sheep. The recommended formula uses 4 lb white arsenic and 8 oz caustic soda in water, plus 4 lb lime, producing 40 gallons of jetting fluid. Arsenite effectiveness is time limited, with protection best for up to six weeks after crutching. calcium arsenite outperforms other mixes in reducing both strikes and spread. Additional notes cover lime handling, costs, jetting equipment, and a sheep mineral lick strategy to maintain condition.
