At last, the ultimate eye-loop type hoof knife, professionally made in France of the finest steel. Genia hoof knives are very sharp and treated to reduce or prevent corrosion. The hardwood handle is securely riveted to the blade.

These knives are ideal tools for a wide range of hoof exploration tasks, reducing examination time and frustration to the minimum. The ambidextrous handle design is ideal for drawing work, with your thumb on the end-flat.

SIZES: Small; Large

KILVERM Oral Drench contains Levamisole, a member of the imidazothiazole (clear) group of drenches, is effective in cattle and sheep against levamisole-susceptible strains of the following species

– Mature and immature Barber’s pole worm (Haemonchus spp)
– Stomach hairworm (Trichostrongylus axel)
– Thin necked intestinal worm (Namatodirus spp)

Active constituents: 32 g/L LEVAMISOLE HYDROCHLORIDE (equivalent to 27g/L LEVAMISOLE)

KILVERM is READY TO USE and requires no mixing, stirring or shaking.

Check the accuracy of drenching equipment before and during drenching.

The solution passes readily through all types of automatic drenching guns. Wash out drenching equipment with water after use.

Dose Rate for Sheep: 2.5mL per 10kg bodyweight

The heaviest sheep in a mob should be weighed. Dose the mob to the heaviest animal in each group (e.g. ewes, rams, lambs). Do not under-dose. Sheep in excess of 80kg should be treated at the rate of 2.5mL/10kg bodyweight.

Dose Rate for Cattle: 10mL per 45kg bodyweight

Dose the mob to the heaviest animal in each group (e.g. cows, bulls, calves). Do not under-dose.

Cattle in excess of 675kg should be treated at the rate of 10mL per 45kg bodyweight.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS:
MEAT: DO NOT USE less than 3 days before slaughter for human consumption.
MILK: NIL

Resistance may develop to any drench. It is recommended that a drench resistant test is conducted before use, and a parasite management practice and drenching programmes in your area be discussed with your local veterinary practitioner.

This product is contraindicated in dogs or horses.

Precautions: 
Exercise care in handling weak, pregnant and young animals to avoid unnecessary stress.

Avoid yarding animals off-feed overnight, and ensure animals have access to water when yarded prior to drenching.

Friskiness, of short duration, minutes after treatment, maybe be seen in some animals.

Recommended dose should not be exceeded except under veterinary supervision.

SIZES:  1L;  5L

In late 2020 International Animal Health began rebranding Protexin to a new name  "ProN8ure". The actual product remains the same and the only thing that has changed is the name.

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.

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. PROTEXIN 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.

Foals are born with a sterile gut which is rapidly colonised by both beneficial and pathogenic bacteria. A fine balance exists which can easily be disrupted, leading to scouring, ill thrift and other problems. Feeding ProN8ure from birth protects the foal from pathogens, improves digestive efficiency, enables better utilisation of feed and makes the transition from milk to solid feed easier.

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

DOSAGE
Dose at stress levels for the first 5 days and then dose at maintenance levels. Stress level dose may need to be continued for longer if necessary.

Stress Levels Dose / Day; Horses: 20mL Ponies: 10mL Foals: 10mL Dogs: 2mL to 6mL Puppies: 2mL Cats & Kittens: 2mL Cattle, pigs, sheep, goats: 4mL Calves, piglets, lambs, kids: 2mL Caged Birds: 1mL /500g of feed

Maintenance Doses are half the stress level dose.

• Lighter action reduces fatigue
• Rounded, etched surfaces improves grip
• Clear polycarbonate barrel to monitor dosage
• Metal tip for faster needle changes

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.

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.
