At Conon Brae Farms, BIOSUPER has become an integral part of lambing and calving periods. Euan Ferguson (Manager at Conon Brae Farms) explains how this innovative product, combined with a balanced nutrition plan and a robust health program, has “helped optimise the critical birthing period with much-improved results!” 

“BIOSUPER allows for a speedy turnaround of lambing stalls, without a requirement to clean them out between Ewes. With some fresh straw, a convenient dusting of powder and a reassuring ’hygienic’ smell, gives confidence that you are doing your upmost to prevent the newly born lamb’s contracting navel infections. Combined with a prompt covering of iodine we have reduced our levels of watery mouth and joint ills considerably.”

“I also have a high degree of confidence that BIO-SUPER has had a substantial reduction in ewes contracting mastitis. With a hefted, swollen udder soon after lambing- reducing the chances of the ewes udders touching dirty, unhygienic areas is of the upmost importance and for lamb growth a healthy, ample supply of quality colostrum and milk is critical. A ewe suffering from mastitis, running a temperature and not really feeling herself is also far more likely to lay on her lambs, not to mention she may require several days using crucial space and expensive drugs to try and fight the infection. Then you wonder if her milk production actually ever returns to the levels you hope for.”

“BIOSUPER is a fantastic product that I certainly would recommend to anyone doing indoor calving or lambing and have a high throughput of stock through a shed.”
