Mite repellent for chickens and poultry, cade oil-based litter powder - Francodex Gal O Pat - 500 g
A litter that keeps mites away from the feet
Poultry can be bothered by mites that burrow under and multiply beneath the scales on their feet.
The scales lift, and lesions appear: this is foot scabies.
Gal O Pat by Francodex is mixed into the coop litter.
Thanks to its cade oil content (1%), it imparts a scent to the litter that is unpleasant to mites and modifies the environment to promote the animals’ comfort.
500 g shaker bottle, ready to use, with a 25 g measuring scoop: treats up to 20 m² of litter.
