Agri Health Rurtec ADLAM Multi-Use Prolapse Harness
Description
Agri Health Rurtec ADLAM Multi-Use Prolapse Harness
The Agri Health Rurtec ADLAM Multi-Use Prolapse Harness is a versatile lambing harness for sheep and goats, used as a clean and effective treatment for prolapses. It is designed for shepherds, goat keepers and smallholders who need a practical way to manage prolapsed, cast or weakened ewes through lambing and kidding.
As well as prolapse support, the harness can restrain the animal so the prolapse can be checked later before releasing, and it doubles as an aid for mothering on and for helping ewes with metabolic disease stand so their lambs can suckle. You will find it alongside our other yard and livestock kit in the stable and yard equipment collection.

- Check the animal and the harness fit regularly while it is in place, adjusting as needed.
- Remove, rinse clean and dry the harness fully before storing it for the next use.
FAQ
What is the ADLAM harness used for?
It is a multi-use prolapse harness for sheep and goats. It provides a clean and effective treatment for prolapses, with the added option to restrain the animal so the prolapse can be checked later before releasing.
Can it be used on goats as well as sheep?
Yes. The source information confirms it is for use on sheep and goats, so it suits mixed flocks and smallholdings running both species.
What else can the harness do besides prolapse work?
It is a useful aid for mothering on, for reorientating ewes that have been cast, and for supporting ewes with metabolic disease so they can stand and allow lambs to suckle.
How tight should the harness be fitted?
Snug enough to stay in place, but never tight enough to restrict breathing, feeding or normal movement. Check the animal and the fit regularly while the harness is on.
Does it replace veterinary treatment?
No. It is a husbandry aid. If a prolapse recurs, does not resolve, or the animal's condition deteriorates, contact your vet.
How do I clean it between animals?
Rinse the harness clean after each use and allow it to dry fully before storage so it stays hygienic for the next animal.
