This is not to clean the sheep it’s to get rid of parasites that can irritate the sheep and cause a lower quality of wool. Imagine it like shampoo for lice.
This seems like a much more humane application than others I’ve seen. There’s one where they lock a couple dozen in a cage that’s barely big enough for them to move with the top just barely above their heads, then they slowly drop the whole cage in to a pool of the liquid until they’re fully submerged, and then hold them there for like 60 seconds before slowly raising it back up.
