The Seasonal Products that can help you this Lambing & Calving Season
January 8, 2025
As we move towards Spring, we thought we’d share with you the seasonal products that can help your veterinary practice during 2025’s lambing and calving season.
Ewe-Go Energy & Calcium Drench for Healthy Ewes
- Twin lamb disease (low blood pressure) and low blood calcium are common problems in ewes before lambing and distinguishing between the two can be difficult, with ewes suffering from one problem being likely to be affected by the other to some extent.
- Ewe-Go is a complementary feed containing energy and calcium for combatting twin lamb disease and low blood calcium.
- Ewe-Go contains both energy sources (glycerol and propylene glycol) and calcium. The energy sources are converted to glucose by the ewe meaning all the energy is available to the ewe. It also contains calcium chloride as a source of calcium in the gut.
- Comes in flexi-packs so any drenching gun can be fitted for easy administration.
Ultra Dri Disinfectant Powder
Ultra Dri is a general purpose absorbent, dry disinfectant powder with a pleasant aroma, containing a DEFRA approved disinfectant, which enables it to act as an effective bactericide, fungicide and viricide. Ideal for lambing pens, cattle cubicles or stables.
- This bedding powder is designed for use in calving and lambing pens (as well as for poultry)
- It contains a fast acting, broad spectrum, DEFRA approved disinfectant, which is non-caustic & doesn’t dry or damage the cows’ skin
