In the heart of every farmer lies a commitment to animal well-being and it's a dedication that drives innovation and progress within the industry. 

And that's the reason why we are thrilled to announce  Dechra Pharmaceuticals is now proudly distributing Numnuts, a revolutionary solution for ring marking lambs, alongside our flagship wound care, anaesthetic, and antiseptic product, Tri-Solfen.

Numnuts isn't just another tool—it's a game-changer. 

As the world's first rubber ring applicator with an immediate pain relief delivery mechanism, it addresses the acute pain experienced by lambs during tail docking and castration, when used alongside NumOcaine. This enables lambs to mother up quickly after the procedure and resume feeding.

Research suggests  implementing pain relief interventions has the potential to alleviate suffering and improve animal health outcomes and scientific studies confirms NumOcaine provides significant relief during the crucial first hour after rubber ring application. 

Developed with funding from industry bodies and clinically evaluated, Numnuts is the culmination of years of research and innovation in pain relief cementing it as a leader in farm animal welfare. 

Since its launch, Numnuts has provided effective pain relief to millions of lambs and has been recognised for excellence and innovation, and received accolades and awards - cementing it as a leader in farm animal welfare. 

Numnuts is accessible and conveniently stocked at rural stores and veterinary clinics. 

Business unit head farm animals at Dechra Ben Austin said the company is committed to setting and maintaining the gold standard for pain relief in farm animals. 

“Numnuts embodies this dedication and offers a practical compassionate solution that elevates the welfare of our beloved livestock.

“With Numnuts in our product offering, we're taking a significant stride towards enhancing the standard of care in the industry,” he said.
