The Sheep Restrainer is suitable for lambing, foot trimming, transportation, health checks and many other uses.

There are two sizes available which make the restraining device suitable for lambs, sheep, goats and calves.

Instructions (also included on the packaging):


1. Firmly hold the animal and place the animal on its side. With one hand, hook the restrainer under the front leg and then pull the restrainer over the neck while pushing the animals head towards the brisket.


2. Hold the other leg and place into the other side of the restrainer.


3. Place the cord under the neck of the animal and secure the holders at the end of cord in the slots provided. The cord must be held firm around the neck, but not too tight. The cord can be adjusted using the knots or securing the cord around the end holders.

In late 2020 International Animal Health began rebranding Protexin to a new name  "ProN8ure". 

BENEFITS of ProN8ure: 

• Establishment of beneficial gut microflora
• Suppression of E. Coli Salmonella & Aeromonas spp
• Treatment and control of scouring and diarrhoea
• Improved digestibility of feed
• Improved growth and feed conversion
• Reduced digestive upsets
• Enhanced animal health
• Re-establishment of gut microflora following antibiotics, wormers or vaccination
• Reducing stress (stress disrupts normal intestinal balance)
• Safe, non-toxic and residue-free.

ProN8ure is the most advanced multi-strain Probiotic in the world today.
 Unlike many other Probiotics that consist primarily of a single strain of bacteria, ProN8ure consists of seven different naturally occurring bacteria. The effectiveness and synergy of these strains has been proven in years of trials and production application.

The uniqueness of ProN8ure is not just confined to its multi-strain formulation. Research and Development has produced a special "protection" to ensure the highest possible numbers of bacteria survive the journey through the hostile conditions of the crop or stomach, into the gut where they rapidly begin to work for the benefit of the animal.

ProN8ure's introduction to Australia makes it the first and to date, the only nationally registered Probiotic approved for administration to animals and birds.

What is a Probiotic and how does it work?
  The digestive system of all animals and birds is home to literally billions of bacteria and yeasts referred to as Microflora.
Microflora are essential to the health of any animal; aiding the digestion, breaking down cellulose and other indigestible substances; helping the synthesis and absorption of vitamins and minerals; stimulating the immune system and preventing the proliferation of pathogens. (Pathogens reduce nutrient absorption, animal performance and cause disease).

Stress, in all forms is one of the major causes of disruption to the normal balance of microflora in the gut, allowing proliferation of pathogens. Loss of appetite, picky eating, scouring, poor condition and changes in temperament are some of the less consequences. Stress is easily induced with some common causes being: changes in diet, heavy work or training, temperature extremes, breeding, transportation, worming, vaccinations and changes to environment. 

Use of ProN8ure in these circumstances protects horses from negative intestinal changes while improving digestive efficiency and general health.

Antibiotics are particularly harmful to gut microflora, leaving animals susceptible to re-infection. ProN8ure should always be administered following any course of antibiotics. The digestive system plays a vital role in the health, vigour and performance of horses. Its correct functioning is dependent on the level and balance of bacteria and yeasts called microflora. Microflora have the major role in breaking down indigestible nutrients, in the synthesis and absorption of vitamins and minerals, in stimulating the immune system and in preventing the proliferation of pathogens in the gut.

All horses benefit from ProN8ure's ability to stabilise intestinal microflora, maximise gut health and resist the effects of stress.

Ausmectin Sheep Drench is a Broad Spectrum oral antiparasitic solution for control and treatment of ivermectin sensitive internal parasites including roundworms, nasal bot and itchmite of sheep.

AUSMECTIN SHEEP DRENCH contains ivermectin, a member of the macrocyclic lactone class of chemicals, which has a unique mode of action. It acts selectively in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite. Therefore, AUSMECTIN SHEEP DRENCH has been used for the control and treatment of ivermectin-sensitive gastrointestinal roundworms in sheep, including benzimidazole, levamisole and morantel resistant strains of Haemonchus contortus (Barber's Pole Worm), Ostertagia circumcincta and Trichostrongylus colubriformis. It is also effective against lungworm (Dictyocaulus filaria), itchmite (Psorergates ovis) and all parasitic larval stages of nasal bot (Oestrus ovis) in sheep. Ivermectin has a long intrinsic half-life, which provides excellent residual protection against parasitic reinfestation for a varying period depending on the target parasite. 

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Administer orally using any standard drenching equipment or any equipment that provides a consistent dose volume. Dose and equipment should be checked before drenching commences.

The dose rate is 1 mL per each 4 kg bodyweight.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS:
MEAT: DO NOT USE less than 10 days before slaughter for human consumption.
MILK: DO NOT USE on lactating ewes or within 28 days of lambing where milk or milk products may be used for human consumption.

PIGS:
Administer in a clean drinking vessel as soon as signs of scouring appear. 
Suckling Piglets: A litter of week-old piglets will consume roughly 2-3L/day. Check that diluted solution, drinking water or sow's milk is always available. Check quantity of diluted solution every 12 hours and replenish as necessary. Piglets can be dosed directly using an appropriate applicator; 20-30mL diluted VyLyte solution, 3 or 4 times a day.
