Sec. 72.13 Permitted dips and procedures.
(a) Dipping requirements; facilities; handling. The dipping of
cattle for interstate movement shall be done only with a permitted dip
and at places where proper equipment is provided for dipping and for
handling the cattle in a manner to prevent exposure to infection after
the final dipping. Cattle which are to be dipped shall be given an
opportunity to drink sufficient water to quench their thirst prior to
dipping, be carefully handled, and not dipped while they are in a heated
or exhausted condition. Dipped cattle shall not be loaded for shipment
until dry.\4\

required concentration of chemicals in dipping baths. Detailed
information concerning the use of, criteria for, and names of
proprietary brands of permitted dips for which specific permission has

(b) Permitted dips. The dips at present permitted by the Department
in official dipping for interstate movement are:
(1) Approved proprietary brands of a Dioxathion (DelnavR)
emulsifiable concentrate used at a concentration of 0.125 to 0.150
percent.\4\
(2) Approved proprietary brands of coumaphos (Co-RalR),
25 percent wettable powder or flowable form labeled for use as a 0.25
percent dip and used at a concentration of 0.125 to 0.250.\4\
(3) Approved proprietary brands of organophosphorous insecticides
(Prolate) if used in a Prolate-water bath where the
concentration level is at least 0.15 percent and if used in accordance
with the EPA approved label.
(4) Approved proprietary brands of organophosphorous insecticides
(Ciodrin) if used in a concentration of 0.44 to 0.54 percent
and if used in accordance with the EPA approved label.
(c) Approval of dips. Proprietary brands of dips are permitted to be
used for purposes of this part only when approved by the Administrator,
APHIS. Before a dip will be specifically approved as a permitted dip for
the eradication of ticks, APHIS will require that the product be
registered under the provisions of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide
and Rodenticide Act, as amended (7 U.S.C. 135 et seq.); that its
efficacy and stability have been demonstrated; that trials have been
conducted to determine that its concentration can be maintained and that
under actual field conditions the dipping of cattle with a solution of
definite strength will effectually eradicate ticks without injury to the
animals dipped.
(d) Tissue residues; restriction on slaughter. Tissue residues are
created following use of certain dips. Animals treated with such dips
should not be slaughtered for food purposes until the expiration of such
period as may be required under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (21
U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The length of this period shall be specified on
each certificate issued by the inspector who supervises the dipping.
