Dipping: Sheep must be totally immersed in a sheep bath and all parts of the sheep except the head and ears must remain immersed for not less than one minute. Keep the sheep moving in the bath and plunge its head under at least once. Never hold the head down or the sheep will be liable to swallow or inhale some of the wash. It is important that the dip bath should be emptied and thoroughly cleaned at the end of each day's dipping or earlier if it becomes very dirty during the day's dipping. Do not dip more than one sheep for each 2 litres of dip-wash prepared before emptying and preparing fresh dip-wash. Dispose of all wash remaining at the end of day's dipping.
