They are designed for farmers, shepherds and stud staff who want an alternative to navel sprays and dips during calving, lambing and foaling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResearch has confirmed that several diseases, including E.coli scours and joint-ill, find their way into the newborn animal via the umbilical cord. Sprays and dips can also cause problems, so these clamps take a mechanical approach instead: attach, cut the cord below the clamp, and remove after 24 to 48 hours or leave it to fall off naturally. Clamps can be disinfected and re-used if desired, which makes them best for yards that want a lasting item in the newborn kit rather than a bottle to replace each season.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCloses the umbilical cord\u003c\/strong\u003e as soon as possible after birth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlternative to navel sprays and dips\u003c\/strong\u003e - no liquid application needed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e65mm long\u003c\/strong\u003e for easy handling in the pen or shed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut below the clamp\u003c\/strong\u003e to prevent suckling\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRe-usable\u003c\/strong\u003e once disinfected, or leave to drop off naturally\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuits calves, lambs, kids and foals\u003c\/strong\u003e across the whole spring workload\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Shoof\u003c\/strong\u003e, a New Zealand livestock husbandry brand\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more yard and stable essentials in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stable-yard-equipment\"\u003estable and yard equipment collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShoof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUmbilical cord clamp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlacement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 5mm from top of the umbilical cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWear Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 to 48 hours, or leave to fall off naturally\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRe-usable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes - can be disinfected and used again\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNewborn calves, lambs, kids and foals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew Zealand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eAttach the clamp as soon as possible after birth.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePosition it approximately 5mm from the top of the umbilical cord.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClose the clamp onto the cord.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCut the cord below the clamp to prevent suckling.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRemove the clamp after 24 to 48 hours, or leave it to fall off naturally.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDisinfect the clamp before re-using it on another newborn.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are Shoof Umbilical Cord Clamps used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are fitted to the umbilical cord of a newborn animal shortly after birth to close off the cord.
