Livestock Guidance After Herbicide Treatments
Farmers are advised to keep livestock off areas where weeds have been treated with sodium chlorate or Atlacide to prevent exposure. Use caution around treated patches and follow product labels for reentry intervals and grazing restrictions. Ensure fencing and clear signage to protect animals during and after weed control operations.
