OP Sheep Dips: VPC Decision
The Veterinary Products Committee
has agreed to manufacturers' proposals for the interim redesign of OP dip packs, "subject to satisfactory resolution of
outstanding issues identified by the Committee".
"Manufacturers will continue to work very hard to satisfy these
new requirements, to ensure that the newly packaged products will be available as soon as
possible, with the addition of a vented tap," said a NOAH spokesperson. "We hope
that soon farmers will once again have access to the full range of products, so they can
choose the one best for the health and welfare of the sheep on their own particular
farms."
Manufacturers will give more precise details in due course on when the
products are likely to be back, added NOAH.
