Rapid Navel Sealing: Effectively seals off the naval within hours of birth, drastically reducing the risks of joint ill, navel ill, and systemic infections.
-
Broad-Spectrum Hygiene: Ideal for disinfecting skin wounds, tail docking sites and castration areas.
-
Economical 2.5 Litre Pack: A generous size to keep you well-stocked through the busiest lambing and calving periods.
Recommended Application Protocols
| Application Profile | Target Animal / Area | Recommended Usage Protocol |
| Newborn Navel Care | Calves, Lambs, Piglets, Foals | Submerge the entire umbilical cord into a clean dip cup filled with undiluted solution immediately after birth. Repeat 4 to 6 hours later if the cord is still thick or wet. |
| Minor Wound & Skin Care | All Livestock & Horses | Clean any dirt from the affected area, then apply or spray undiluted to disinfect minor cuts, abrasions, or foot punctures. |
| Post-Processing Care | Lambs / Piglets | Dab or spray onto fresh tail docking or castration sites to prevent secondary skin infections. |
⚠ Handling Best Practices & Biosecurity:
-
Use a fresh, non-returnable dip cup for each newborn. Never dip straight into the main 2.5L container to avoid contaminating the the whole batch with barn bacteria.
-
Keep container tightly sealed when not in use—the spirit-based alcohol will evaporate if left open to the air.
-
Store in a cool, dark room away from direct heat and naked flames.
