Foot-bathing product walks off with prize

A foot-bathing solution was crowned cream of the crop at this year’s Agr iSco t Produc t Innovation Awards.

The Deosan HH+ hoof care product from Diversey impressed judges for “doing what it says on the tin” and for being less toxic and easier to dispose of than other foot-bathing products.
