What do you all use to disinfect your lambing pens?  I only have 3 so don't want a huge quantity of anything.  Thanks

What we do is move lambs out asap after birth, move the pens to different areas if available, clean the old straw away to floor and replace with new and leave metal hurdles in dilute FAM in foot bath between lambs.. that's it.

We put lime down each time we clean pens out

[Fleecewife]

We lamb outside but when we had more difficult sheep we scrubbed the pens with Sorgene.

Lime is the best----if you use any wet approach you are just building a nice damp environment for bacteria to thrive in

[SallyintNorth]

Agree that lime is best

[ScotsGirl]

Usually try and lamb outside but if I have to clean out I sprinkle Staldren powder. Supposed to kill everything.

DryDis powder, great except it stains your hands red.  Does mean you know which pens you've done before you put the fresh straw down, though.  But, if you only have three and there is room/enough gates etc. I would just have three separate pens ready, then you can just disinfect them when the ewes go out with whatever you use in the house.  Post lambing, ours are all washed down with something like Milton, just whatever I have in the house at the time.

Stalosan powder.  I use it in the hen house too.
You can get small quantities from Flyte so Fancy if you don't want the standard huge container's worth.

hydrated lime from builders merchant

Agree with JS and getting it from the builder's merchant is a lot cheaper than agricultural suppliers.
His initials are the same as mine so he must be right.
