Protect your livestock naturally with Barrier Livestock Louse Powder 500g.

Specially formulated using natural plant-derived oils and a safe sterilised maize carrier, Barrier Livestock Louse Powder helps repel and control both biting and sucking lice with a single treatment. Unlike many conventional products, one application can remain active for up to six weeks, depending on weather conditions.

The fine powder is worked directly into the animal's coat using a soft brush, ensuring it reaches the base of the hair where lice are most active. The maize carrier is gentle on the skin and will not form granulomas if it comes into contact with minor cuts or abrasions, making it suitable for regular use as part of a livestock parasite control programme.

Barrier Livestock Louse Powder is suitable for:

• Horses
• Ponies
• Donkeys
• Cattle
• Goats
• Rabbits
• Sheep
• Young stock over 2 weeks old

It is not recommended for pigs or birds, as the powder will not adhere effectively to their skin or feathers.

Suitable for use in organic farming systems, Barrier Livestock Louse Powder is fully HSE Approved (Licence No. 8712) and provides an effective natural alternative to chemical-based lice treatments.
