Agri Health Uteri Support 3 Tie Ewe Prolapse Harness
Description
Agri Health Uteri Support - Three-Tie Prolapse Harness for In-Lamb Ewes
The Agri Health Uteri Support is a lambing aid that assists in preventing prolapses in pregnant ewes. It is made for sheep farmers, shepherds and smallholders who need a simple, reusable way to support ewes through the final weeks of pregnancy, whether lambing indoors or out at grass.
The three-tie design lets you secure and adjust the support on each individual animal, so it stays in position as the ewe moves, feeds and lies down. It is best for flock keepers who have had prolapse cases before and want a straightforward management aid in the lambing kit.

How to Use
- Restrain the ewe calmly in a pen or race so she is standing square and settled.
- Position the support against the ewe so it sits over the correct area without pressing on the udder.
- Secure the first tie, then the second and third, keeping the tension even on both sides.
- Check that the ties are firm but not tight - you should be able to slide a finger underneath.
- Allow the ewe to move off and watch that she can walk, feed and lie down normally.
- Re-check and adjust the ties daily as her condition changes, and remove at lambing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Agri Health Uteri Support do?
It assists in preventing prolapses in pregnant ewes by providing support during late pregnancy. It is a husbandry management aid, not a veterinary treatment.
How does it fasten?
It uses a three-tie design, so the fit can be adjusted to the size and condition of each individual ewe.
Can it be reused on other ewes?
Yes. Clean the support between animals and check the ties for wear before refitting.
When should it be fitted?
Most keepers fit it in the final weeks of pregnancy, particularly for ewes carrying multiples or those with a history of prolapse. Remove it at lambing.
Does it replace veterinary care?
No. If a ewe is straining, showing signs of a prolapse or appears distressed, contact your vet straight away.
Will it stop the ewe eating or lying down?
Fitted correctly, the ewe should be able to move, feed and lie down normally. Check the fit daily and loosen or adjust if she seems restricted.
