• Broad spectrum worm control
• Short acting
• Registered for goats
• Very safe
• Ovicidal

Why choose Alben?

1. For your white drench rotation:

Alben contains albendazole, a member of the benzimidazole (BZ or white) drench family. If white drenches are still effective on your property, Alben provides an opportunity to rotate away from macrocyclic lactone (ML) or levamisole (clear) drenches.

2. Broad spectum worm control:

Alben will control all major roundworms that are susceptible to a BZ drench (except whipworms). These worms reduce overall productivity especially in young animals. Weight gains can be affected significantly. Alben also controls tapeworms and aids in the control of adult liver fluke.

3. Registered for goats: 

There are very few drenches registered for use in goats. Alben has been used safely by goat producers across Australia for many years, and continues to be one of the more popular drenches used in the goat industry.

4. Very safe:

Albendazole is amongst the safest of all active ingredients used in oral drench formulations.

5. Ovicidal:

Albendazole is ovicidal, ensuring that roundworm eggs passed in the dung are rendered infertile, reducing the potential for further pasture contamination. To obtain the maximum benefit of this, sheep and goats should not be placed on clean pasture until 12 hours after drenching.

When to use Alben.

1. When rotating to a white drench. It is important to use effective drenches on your property. If white drenches still give effective control on your property, then Alben is a useful tool to extend the life of the more powerful drenches available, including the macrocyclic lactone (ML) drenches (e.g. Cydectin Oral Drench for Sheep).

2. In combination with other drenches. Drenching with a combination of actives from different drench families provide the best tool to fight resistance in worms. Producers wanting a cheap alternative to combination drenches could use an ML such as Cydectin Oral and then follow this immediately with a dose of Alben.

3. Worm testing. Worm egg counts provide valuable information to optimise drench timing. Egg counts will show if a drench is not required because of low worm numbers, but will also reveal production limiting worm infections long before clinical signs such as scouring or wasting are evident. A larval differentiation assay provides identification of the worm species present so that the optimal type of drench can be selected.

4. Drench resistance testing. It is essential to understand the level of resistance to the various drench families on a particular property. Faecal egg count reduction tests (FECRTs) provide objective measurements of which drenches are working and which fall below the level of efficacy required for good worm control (i.e. 95% efficacy). FECRTs should be conducted every two to three years to monitor any changes in resistance levels.

How to use Alben:

Alben is applied orally using standard drenching equipment. Shake well before use. Dose the mob according to the heaviest animal by bodyweight in the group (ewes, wethers, rams, lambs). Where there is a large variation in size within the group, draft into two or more lines based on bodyweight. A representative sample of the animals should be weighed before treatment. Do not underdose. Do not drench in marking cradles due to the increased risk of aspiration into the lungs. Check the accuracy of drenching equipment before and during use.

Alpaca Blend is a nutritious food formulated to be fed to growing and lactating alpacas and llamas, and is also an ideal diet for maintenance.

Alpaca Blend is a mix of grains and pellets coated in molasses and vegetable oil.

Feeding Recommendations:

Generally an alpacas total daily feed consumption will be between 1.2% to 1.5% of body weight for maintenance, 1.5% to 2.5% growing, 1.5% to 2% late gestation and 1.5% to 3% during lactation.
The level of blend fed will vary depending on a number of factors such as body weight and condition, pregnancy, lactation (level of milk production), activity and quality of the roughage being fed.
The portion of blend fed will generally vary between 10% and 75% of total daily feed intake.
Roughage is an important part of their daily intake and must be available at all times.

Introduce Alpaca Blend gradually and avoid sudden changes to diet as digestive problems may occur.
If digestive problems occur reduce the amount of blend being fed and increase roughage consumption until normal digestive activity returns.

When feeding alpacas and llamas be aware that they are prone to choke if they consume food too quickly.
Feed in a manner that will slow their rate of consumption.

Dual Purpose:

Alpaca Blend is a well-balanced nutritious food that can be fed to other ruminants such as sheep, cattle, goats and deer.

Roughage and clean, fresh water must be available at all times.

Ingredients:

Alpaca Blend is formulated from a selection of the following ingredients: Barley, wheat, triticale, oats, rice, peas, lupins, lentils, beans, soyabean, canola, sunflower and products derived from these ingredients.
Molasses, vegetable oil, limestone, di-calcium phosphate, salt, acid buf, gypsum, bentonite, magnesium sulphate, magnesium oxide and antioxidants.

Vitamins: A, D3, E.

Minerals: Calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chloride, cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, selenium and zinc.

The Speedy Calf Feeder is a three-speed feeder made by Shoof.
The  Speedy Feeder allows you to switch to ‘Fast’ when you get a really fast drinker and let him go for it. With a weak premature-born calf needing careful feeding, switch to ‘Stop’ or ‘Slow’ and let him take milk as he can cope without drowning. 
The three speeds control the air inflow to the bottle and thus the milk outflow. 
Reduce time wasted on speedsters and prevent drowning weaklings, all using the same bottle and teat. 

This feeder also features an intelligently designed bottle with a multi-directional easy-grip hand hold. The teat is mounted low in the cap to empty the bottle contents completely. The wide 70mm diameter neck ensures easier filling and cleaning and the coarse-thread cap is quick and easy to fit. 
The wide base gives the bottle maximum stability when standing. 

Spare teats are supplied as fitted teat/cap assemblies, or as bare teat. (Teat replacement needs some strength to achieve.) 

Features: 

• Three-speed dial for precise flow
• Easy-grip hand hold for comfort
• Wide neck & base for stability
• Low-mounted teat for full dispensing

Capacity:  4L

• No withhold periods

Vetericyn Plus Poultry Care is a wound care agent formulated with advanced hypochlorous technology. It is designed to clean cuts, pecking sores, scratches, and abrasions safely and effectively while helping wounds heal.

Made by a conscientious company that works to develop and produce safe and non-toxic animal healthcare products, Vetericyn Plus can help save expensive vet-prescribed medicine costs. Wound care is simple but efficient with the use of Vetericyn Plus spray.

How does it work?
The hypochlorous solution in Vetericyn wound spray has been proven to promote wound healing and to discourage infections. The spray works to clean, kill bacteria, and help prevent future bacterial migration to the wound site.

Why should I use Vetericyn Plus?
The spray contains no steroids or antibiotics, making it safe for hatchlings as well as chickens and roosters. No need to worry about chickens ingesting the spray because it is non-toxic, non-steroidal, and completely safe.

Vetericyn Plus is also safe for laying hens. Because the product contains nothing harmful, there is no need to discard eggs during or after treatment. No waiting period is necessary.

The spray's pH levels are balanced so there is no stinging or burning at the application site. It can be used safely around a chicken's head because it will not harm ears, eyes, or beaks. It can also be used as an eye or ear wash.

How do I use Vetericyn Plus?
Move feathers away from the affected area, cutting if necessary. Swab the injured area with a clean towel, gauze, or other soft, absorbent material until the bleeding has stopped. Then simply spray the wound with the poultry care, applying liberally. The solution should be applied three to four times a day to keep the wound clean and moist, helping it heal faster. For use as an eye or ear wash, apply with a dropper.
