About this product

Features of Rhino Lime:
White Rhino Hydrated Lime has a pH of 12.35 and so is highly effective in deactivating E.coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcal and Streptococcal (mastitis causing bacteria). It’s easy to apply, does not burn and reacts immediately to increase pH. Standard cubicle lime has a maximum pH of just 8.3 and therefore is not effective in deactivating harmful bacteria.

- Reduces lameness in cattle
- Prevents mastitis causing bacteria – Research study indicates 50% less staphylococcal and 45% less streptococcal bacteria than those bedded with standard cubicle lime.
- Deactivates tuberculosis and brucellosis in cattle slurry

Sheep:
- Proven by Teagasc to reduce lameness/foot rot in housed ewes
- Creates a healthy environment for lambing
- Protects against scours
- Prevents foot rot

Equine:

How Rhino Lime Works:
A Highly absorbant registered disinfectant.Mastitis is the most common bacterial infection found in dairy cattle, resulting in the loss of up to €60 per cow each year. White Rhino Hydrated Lime is an alkali, with a pH of 12.35. A single application of White Rhino Hydrated Lime deactivates the bacteria which cause mastitis, resulting in cleaner, drier bedding and a healthier herd. Other cubicle limes, with a pH of only 8.3, lack the natural strength of White Rhino and will not deactivate these harmful bacteria. Independent Teagasc research conducted in Moorepark in 2010 and 2011 showed that milking cows bedded with White Rhino had lower bacterial counts and infection levels compared to cows bedded with standard cubicle lime or blended limestone products. By the end of the five week trial cows bedded with White Rhino showed 50% less Staphylococcal and 45% less streptococcal bacteria than those bedded with standard cubicle lime. White Rhino was also proven safe to use with both chlorhexidine and iodine based teat dips.
