"Having seen the results at minus 5 degrees, I was able to sleep soundly knowing that I wouldn’t have to get up in the middle of the night if a cold snap was coming”
Kim Henderson, Grogansworth, Bowning NSW
After years of drought we went into a period of unprecedented 'wet'. We were aproaching shearing and it was weather in which you could lose a lot of sheep. We were discussing this with a client who recommended to us we use Thermoskin, as he said it was one of the best products he had ever used. We did this on 1500 stud ewes and after seeing the results for ourselves then decided to Thermoskin another 1500 commercial ewes that we had originally not intended doing. We also found that despite the terrible weather, our instance of preg tox was also reduced by the use of Thermoskin with the ewes returning to the paddock so much happier.
Thermoskin saved us a lot of time and a lot of worry.
Andrew and Max Rayner, Grathlyn, Mudgee NSW
"Very efficient way to keep warm - one growers response "I normally lose 3-4% of my 5,000 stock from cold snaps, after using Thermoskin, I only lost one”

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
