Applications and Usage

The Paxton FB1 is an ideal footbath for smaller farms, equestrian yards, and mixed livestock operations where a compact but effective treatment run is required without the footprint of a larger unit. At 2000mm in length and 850mm in width, it fits comfortably within standard handling races and gateways, making it straightforward to integrate into existing infrastructure without modification or civil engineering work. The 180-litre capacity is sufficient for a full treatment session involving a moderate number of cattle or sheep, and the one-piece construction eliminates potential leak points, ensuring the chemical solution is retained reliably throughout use. Regular footbathing is an important part of herd health management, particularly after gathering, housing, or any period where animals are held in confined areas where the risk of cross-infection is elevated. The anti-slip base encourages confident movement through the bath, and the MDPE construction withstands repeated exposure to formalin, copper sulphate, zinc sulphate, and other standard hoof treatment solutions without degradation.

The FB1's manageable size and light weight mean it can be repositioned between pens, gateways, or race entries by a single operator without lifting equipment, making it one of the most practical footbath options for smaller farm businesses.
