Why Use THERMOSKIN®?
Newly shorn sheep are very sensitive to cold weather, especially when combined with rain and strong winds. When they don’t have good shelter, large numbers die. In Australia an estimated 1 million sheep die in the 30 days after shearing.
Among other things, THERMOSKIN® was developed out of necessity to:
-
Counteract the harsh environmental conditions that shorn sheep face during winter and at times of large temperature differentials ie cold snaps
-
Prevent hypothermia & hence stock loss in shorn animals
-
Maintain animal body weight & condition of shorn animals
-
Reduce labour cost of rugging & the initial cost of the coat
-
Remove the need for snow cones
-
Allow shearing to occur in the winter months if it suits management
-
Remove the need to shed after shearing
-
Stop growers having to get up in the middle of the night
-
Provide an extremely fast way of protecting sheep after shearing
-
Cost effective form of protection for shorn animals
-
Reduce the stress to the sheep
