[QUOTE="simme, post: 1746152, member: 40418"] I am not going to mix up a bleach solution and give to my calves. But, be aware that chicken houses have water lines/drinkers with nipple nozzles for the chickens to push sideways and water droplets come out. These water lines will build up slime and bacteria inside. Chicken houses are built with a proportioning medicator that will suck up chemicals out of a bucket and mix with the water in a precise ratio based on a volumetric measurement of the water flow. Chemicals that might be in the bucket include citric acid, copper sulfate and maybe sodium hypochlorite (bleach). For slime control and/or for gut ph control. Design of the proportioning medicator is such that the concentration will go lower on a failure, never higher. Too much of anything can be bad, but a little bit of poison might be beneficial in some cases in a controlled environment. [/QUOTE]
