A purpose-built solution for navel dipping
Newborn livestock are very susceptible to disease and one of the main routes of infection is the umbilical cord. When calves and lambs are born, the umbilicus is essentially an open wound, not only does this allow infection of this area but it also permits bacteria to track up into the new born animal resulting in infections of internal organs and the joints. Navel infections are a significant cause of economic loss on farm1, due to nursing and treating affected stock, reduced growth rates and mortality of animals due to severe disease or euthanasia due to incurable joint ill. Whilst theses problems are multi-factorial, navel treatment after birth has been recommended and used for decades to cleanse the navel and therefore help protect newborn lambs and calves from bacterial ingress.
NoBACZ Navel is being rigorously trialled so farmers can trust it offers durable and proven protection for the navel whilst it dries and heals.
