Help restore healthy legs and feet with Barrier Scaly Leg Ointment 500ml.

Scaly leg mite is a common parasite affecting chickens and other poultry. These microscopic mites burrow beneath the scales on the legs and feet, causing irritation, raised scales, crusting and discomfort. Barrier Scaly Leg Ointment provides an effective physical treatment by coating and suffocating the mites, helping to break the infestation cycle while soothing damaged skin.

The thick, easy-to-apply ointment softens dry, crusty scales and moisturises affected areas, helping improve comfort while encouraging healthy skin recovery. It can also be applied to the comb and wattle if required.

Suitable for:

• Chickens
• Bantams
• Turkeys
• Game birds
• Cage birds
• Other poultry

Barrier Scaly Leg Ointment is suitable for organic farming systems and is designed to leave no staining on the legs, making it ideal for routine flock health management.
