Winter Poultry Care: Lime-Sulfur Treatment Against Cold
The report notes heat loss in treased animals in cold or windy weather. Giled hogs often die from pneumonia while dry animals fare better. A lime-sulfur dip or spray mixing one part liquid lime sulfur to 25 parts water is used and warmed near 100 degrees to maintain strength. This method is considered safer than oiling in winter as it dries quicker.
