According to the USDA, hydrated lime that is mixed with water is generally safe for the deodorization of pet areas. However, pay close attention to the instructions for mixing it.
Lime is used to raise the pH level in soil. The types are Ag, hydrated, powder, pelletized, liquid, and dry lime.
lime is not good for snakes
Agrolime is pulverized limestone (check with your retailer) and will not harm livestock. It is often grey and sometimes comes in pellet form. It is not as effective as hydrated lime (white powder) which should be tilled under and animals kept away for a few weeks. Farmers usually move animals out of the area being treated for at least three heavy rainfalls to help dilute the caustic effects.When used to sweeten the soil after months of manure has fouled the topsoil both types should be raked/tilled into the first few inches of compacted earth to speed up reaction and promote safe habitat for your livestock.
It will not. Lime is able to be used on any lawn type.
Lime is not poisonous ,or toxic when in contact with skin , unless the dog licks it's feet, and ingests it . Lime is however caustic when wet , and can cause burns , or at least irritation. The best thing to do if you notice your dog has stepped in lime is to wash the feet immediately in lots of water , use a water bottle , or a puddle , but use your fingers to help spread the toes to remove all traces of the lime.
no
Hydrated Lime: Solubility in Water: Slightly soluble in water. pH=12.4@25°C
Yes...

The chemical name for hydrated lime is Calcium hydroxide The chemical formula is Ca(OH)2.
There are two types of barn lime. Ag lime or dolomite can be used to "sweeten" the chicken coop and area with no harm to the birds. Hydrated lime "burn lime" is caustic and should be kept away from Livestock including chickens.
It can be both...
The density of hydrated lime is listed as 2.211 gm/cm3 .Doesn't matter whether you have a thimbleful or a truckload of it.
If a horse swallowed hydrated lime, you should call a equine vet immediately as this is an emergency situation. Hydrated lime is highly caustic and toxic to both animals and humans, ingestion of the substance could be fatal if not seen to immediately.
Yes, but there are better products
raising the pH of the water
No it is not. Hydrated lime and concrete are quite different. hydrated lime is an addative similar to cement and used in concrete to improve the strength. it can also be added to soil to improve stability etc. typically concrete is a mixture containing different % of rock, cement/lime, fly ash, water. lime is a cheaper then cement however not aas effective and takes longer to harden. -civil engineering student
