We all have some great opinions but first I would found out exactly what is happening with your flock.  I would have an autopsy done.  then go from there.

  Lime is non toxic, but the very fine dust is quite irritating to the lungs (ours and theirs) and is bad news if it gets in the eyes, I use it in my horse stalls occasionally when they get really wet but would not recommend it for sheep.   I can't recommend bleach either; bleach plus ammonia in urine emits chlorine gas which is heavier than air and highly irritating. if you absolutely must disinfect I recommend one of the several products available in on line vet supply catalogues, or Pinesol in a pinch.

  I would use diluted bleach.  Clean out your pens down to the dirt or concrete.  Get a pump sprayer and spray away.  Make sure if soak the floor especially if it is dirt.  Let it dry and you are fine to go.

    I prefer Sweet PDZ or Stall Dry as they are less casutic and not as much as an irritant (especially for the eyes) as lime.  It is a similar type drying product that is for horses.  I use it every time I clean

    No, Ag lime, barn lime, is not toxic, but I always like to cover it with some fresh straw after applying it to the dirt floors in our shelters.

    Thanks, Carl!  I learn something new from you guys everyday.

     

    If ag lime is ingested, is it toxic?  I have other creatures other than sheep that sometimes make it into the shed.  And some of them will try to eat anything.

     

    Thanks!
