If you're a lamb exporter, you may be interested to learn about the Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) for NumOcaine.

Interesting news is that as there is no listed ESI for lignocaine, the active chemical in NumOcaine, the domestic Meat Withholding Period is applied instead.

And in the case of lignocaine, that’s 0 days.

We’ve had excellent feedback from farmers who find that a day of lamb marking with Numnuts doesn’t result in the usual aches and pains caused by pliers.

How about this: "Far less strain on the hand and better control of ring release. It is easy and safe to load the rings, needles and Numocaine." (More from this farmer soon!)

That’s great news, as we designed the device with a major focus on ergonomics, particularly the 42 muscles in the farmer’s hand!

NumOcaine and other pain relief for lambs – what’s the difference?

Yes, we keep coming back to this, but it really is important!

Short answer: only NumOcaine is a local anaesthetic that blocks the highest pain levels during the first hour after ring application.

Numnuts across the Tasman:

It’s now 3 years since we took the leap and launched Numnuts in New Zealand.

So how’s it going over there?

Not that long ago, Dougal Deans headed over to Taupō, Waikato on the North Island to see for himself.

Read about how Numnuts is faring under the keen eye of managers at Mangamingi Station, a hill country farm that is part of the Pāmu group of 116 farms throughout New Zealand.

A question we get asked by a lot of lamb exporters is: what’s the Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) for NumOcaine?

An ESI is the time that must elapse between an animal’s last exposure to a chemical and its slaughter for meat export. It’s set by the APVMA.

If no ESI is listed for a chemical, then the domestic Meat Withholding Period is applied instead. In the case of lignocaine, that’s 0 days.

Yes, you read that right: 0 days.
