Raw hide preservation - Dried dung and urine stains

Dried dung often cannot be removed at green fleshing without damaging the hide or skin and only after soaking it is soft enough to be safely removed. To remove the stock for fleshing after soak can be labour intensive and time wasting and it is better to lime flesh where ever possible. Soaking with enzymes PELLVIT increases the removal of dried on dung but the dung still tends to come away as a lumps and these can block drainage holes in process vessels. Regular checks should be conducted to remove such blockages.

Important: High amounts of dissolved dung / urine in soak will mean more bacteria and the application of suitable biocides such as ARACIT must be used. The presence of dung / urine may call for increased offers of biocides.
