Animal Control
Safe For You And Easy For Your Staff
"we make farming ezy"
It is well known that dealing with animals can incur dangerous situations. Even when top of the range handling equipment is on farm the strength of any bovine animal still outweigh a person's ability to restrain the actions of that animal fully. Stock inflicted injuries are common (see ACC stats) and many farmers have experienced situations where their own or staffs life or wellbeing may have been at risk or severely compromised. (ACC pays many hundreds of thousands of dollars to farm animal inflicted injured people and there are deaths every year)
TechniPharm's goal is to make farming ezy and to help farmers with tools and equipment which make controlling animals safe and increases over all animal wellbeing.
Farming animal's means treating animals and looking after them to ensure their optimum wellbeing.
That means jobs like drenching, castrating, pregtesting, semen extraction, dehorning, tagging AI and general vet treatments are needed to be engaged in from time to time.
Treatments invariably have a discomfort level, but It's the better of 2 evils.. do nothing and the animal dies.
Optimum control means treatments can be as stress free and as painless as possible for the animal and as safe as possible for the operator. To achieve this most farmers have some form of mechanical restraint, like a headbail or handler but often this may not be offering a 'total control' and some animals simply behave badly at the best of times. Of course there is always sedation via injection but the reality of the latter is only viable and practical in some situations.
However there is a half way mark which offers animals and farmers a good alternative where discomfort of the restraint is less than the pain of the treatment without the restraint and where safety of the operator is significantly increased.
TechniPharm now offers a very viable and animal wellbeing friendly complimentary product to mechanical restraints in the form of the NewTek animal Pacifier.
What is a Pacifier or Animal Control unit? Simply it's a very small probe inserted in the rectum which sends electrical signals to the muscles. ( natural muscle movements are controlled by electronic pulses sent by the brain) The NewTek Pacifier control unit sends a special designed and animal welfare (NZ) approved waveform of pulses which in turn control muscle movements. Simmilar technology is used in some Human medical situations for muscle control during childbirth, post surgical situations, pain relief in trauma and some musculoskeletal conditions. (bergman2007)
