TestiGrip now available in U.S.

TestiGrip, designed by a Manitoba rancher and formerly only available in Canada, Australia and the U.K., is now available to U.S. producers.

TestiGrip is a simple tool that functions as a "third hand" when applying bands for castration. There are some definite advantages to making TestiGrip part of your banding process, namely that TestiGrip practically eliminates the chance of slips, and having an extra hand makes the procedure quicker and less stressful for the producer and animals alike.

TestiGrip is distributed in the U.S. by Heritage Animal Health, Jeffers, Nasco, Premier 1 and Valley Vet Supply.

BeefUp from Jones-Hamilton Co.

Jones-Hamilton Co. recently launched BeefUp, an acidifier designed to eliminate ammonia and reduce bacteria in manure packs and high-traffic areas in confined cattle operations.

Designed to improve the environments in which cattle are raised, BeefUp can improve hoof health as it works to minimize secondary infections and insults that occur during lameness, while also decreasing respiratory insults for improved performance.

The development of BeefUp stemmed from a discussion on hoof health between a poultry and beef veterinarian. The resulting trial by Iowa State University at a custom feedyard in Nevada, Iowa, showed instant promise.
