Chromic Surgical Catgut Sutures are a specialized type of absorbable suture made from purified connective tissue, primarily collagen, derived from the serosal layer of bovine intestines. They are treated with chromic salt solutions to prolong their absorption within the body and to minimize tissue reaction. These sutures are known for their twisted multifilament structure that gives a monofilament appearance, ensuring smooth passage through tissue and reliable knot security. Chromic Catgut Sutures are typically used in general closure, soft tissue approximation, and ligation in surgeries such as ophthalmic, gastrointestinal tract, and obstetrics/gynecology. They are preferred for their ability to join and regenerate tissues rapidly, which is crucial in surgical procedures. However, the rate of tensile strength loss and absorption can vary based on the suture type, the tissue site, and the presence of infection. It's important to note that while Chromic Catgut Sutures are absorbed by the body through phagocytosis, the process is less predictable than with synthetic sutures, and complete absorption usually occurs within 90 days An absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of purified connective tissue. Surgical gut suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, but not for use in cardiovascular and neurological tissues. FEATURESHigh knot-pull tensile strength. ‍ Absorbable. ‍ Packaged in alcohol for sterility. ‍ Outer packaging sealed for LEAK PROOF delivery!

Calf nipples are an essential tool in the husbandry of young livestock, particularly for calves that may be orphaned or require supplemental feeding The quality of these nipples is paramount as they must be durable enough to withstand the vigorous nursing behavior of calves, yet soft enough to be safe for their delicate mouths.  Known for its exceptional rubber formula that balances toughness with flexibility for extended use these nipples are designed to fit specific bottle caps and are often available in various sizes to accommodate different age groups and feeding needs. Proper use of calf nipples involves ensuring they are clean and free from defects before each feeding, and replacing them at signs of wear to prevent ingestion of small pieces. With the right quality and care, calf nipples can significantly ease the process of hand-rearing calves, ensuring they receive the vital nutrition they need during the early stages of life.  Signs of wear in calf nipples can include visible cracks, tears, or significant thinning of the rubber material. These defects can not only affect the feeding efficiency but also pose a health risk to the calves, as cracked nipples can harbor bacteria that may lead to infections. It's crucial to inspect the nipples regularly for these signs of wear and tear and replace them promptly to maintain a safe and hygienic feeding environment for the young livestock. Additionally, any discoloration or change in texture could indicate degradation of the material, which is another sign that the nipple should be replaced. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of calf nipples are essential for the well-being of the calves and the smooth operation of feeding routines Milk Bucket/Bottle Nipple/Teat Replacement.

Barnes Dehorners with metal handles are essential tools in livestock management, specifically designed for the dehorning of calves and cattle. The 13-inch and 17-inch models cater to different sizes of livestock, ensuring a precise fit for effective use. Constructed from high-grade hardened steel, the cutting heads of these dehorners are built for durability and a smooth operation. The overlapping cutting edges are a critical feature, providing a complete cut, which is vital for the welfare of the animals and the efficiency of the task. Comfort is also a consideration in the design, with poly-coated grips on the metal handles to reduce slippage and increase user comfort during the dehorning process. These tools are recognized for their long-lasting service and are a testament to the quality craftsmanship that goes into their production. Dehorning is a common practice in livestock management, primarily aimed at ensuring the safety and welfare of both the animals and their handlers. The process involves removing the horns of cattle, which can be potentially dangerous. The benefits of dehorning are multifaceted: it reduces the risk of injury to other cattle, as horned animals can cause harm to each other, especially in close quarters. For handlers, dehorned cattle are safer to manage and transport, minimizing the risk of injuries during routine handling or when moving the animals between locations. Additionally, dehorned cattle require less space at feeding troughs, which can lead to more efficient feeding practices and reduced competition among animals. This can also translate to less bruising of carcasses during transportation to slaughter facilities, which is not only a welfare concern but also has economic implications. Furthermore, the removal of horns is believed to reduce aggressive behaviors associated with dominance, leading to a more harmonious herd dynamic. With cutting blades made of high-grade tool steel our dehorners are good to have a very clean dehorning job especially in calves from 2 – 8 months. Heavy construction, chrome plated handles with rubber grips. Available in 13˝ and 17˝ sizes. ‍
