How to use UMBIREZ™

Watch this video, showing how to use UMBIREZ to protect your youngstock.

Instructions for use – navels

  • If using a dip cup, pour UMBIREZ into a clean dip cup.
  • Submerge the whole navel into the dip cup, or spray liberally over the navel region, ensuring the entire navel is covered

Instructions for use – ear tagging

  • Spray UMBIREZ directly onto the ear tag site
  • Apply ear tag as normal, inserting the tag into the middle of the sprayed region The nozzle can be rotated to achieve optimum spray
  • Alternatively, tags can be dipped or sprayed into UMBIREZ prior to application

Get the best results for your animals

  • Data1 has shown that dipping navels is superior to spraying them. We recommend using a non-return dipping cup for optimum results, and to ensure complete coverage of the navel.
  • Due to the robust waterproof technology behind UMBIREZ, when there is the addition of water into the dip cup some product can set, creating a film. Simply wipe the dip cup with a paper towel to remove set product before continuing.
  • If spraying UMBIREZ (e.g. on ear tag sites) we provide our specialized spray head with microfilter to ensure a quality experience.
