LambKIND – it’s about time – Eadie Bros & Co Ltd
ClipFitter is a new tailing and castration system that is legal in Scotland to use on lambs from birth to 3 months of age. It has been developed by specialist husbandry equipment engineer Brian Eadie , with the engineering expertise of Brian Falconer, having been conceived by Professor Vince Molony, expert in animal pain.
It’s simple – Plastic Clips replace rubber rings. The ClipFitter is a modernised Burdizzo so all cords, nerves and sperm cords included, are disabled on application. Lambs no longer suffer the pain and distress of rings, and castration is accomplished in the same quick way, with no dependency on blood starvation. The clip remains on the tail and scrotum to ensure that the farmer gets the confirmation of castration success through it’s removal, not achieved with the traditional bloodless systems.
These models illustrate the testicles and their various lifelines. With ClipFitter and it’s powerful action, sperm, and nerve cords are cut and not strangled - the brain is detached from the pain, reproduction is halted, and teats and urethra avoided as usual. Positionally identical to a ring, no additional skills required although there will be some important guidelines to follow.
