Battles 2.5% Iodine Spray – General Purpose Skin Cleanser for Livestock

Battles 2.5% Iodine Spray – 500ml

The same 2.5% iodine solution as the litre bottle, in a 500ml spray. The trigger is the whole difference: you can apply it one-handed to an animal you are also holding, which in a lambing pen or with a fidgeting yearling is the difference between getting it done and not.

2.5% is the mild everyday strength. It is used across horses, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs rather than being species-specific, which is why one bottle tends to live in the yard cupboard instead of one sitting in each species' kit.

Performance & Benefits

• 2.5% iodine, the mild strength for routine skin cleansing.
• 500ml trigger spray for one-handed application.
• Reaches places a swab cannot without a second pair of hands.
• Used across horses and farm livestock rather than one species.
• A practical size to carry to the animal rather than the other way round.

Suitable For

• Yards, lambing pens and smallholdings.
• Anywhere you are holding the animal with one hand and applying with the other.
• Anyone wanting a ready-to-use bottle rather than something to decant.
• If you go through iodine in quantity, the Battles 2.5% Iodine Solution in one litre refills this bottle at a better price per millilitre.

How to Use

• Follow the directions printed on the bottle label.
• Spray onto clean skin from a few inches away.
• Turn the nozzle off between uses.
