Research has confirmed that several diseases find their way into the newborn animal via the umbilical cord. Sprays and dips can cause problems, so this clamp is the solution. Simply attach as soon as possible after birth. Remove after 24 to 48 hours. Place clamp approximately 3/16" from top of umbilical cord. Cut cord below clamp to prevent suckling. Clamps can be disinfected and reused if desired, or can be left to fall off naturally. Ideal for piglets, lambs, calves and most any newborn. Clamps measure 2-5/8" L. Pkg. of 10 clamps.
