Docking improves the health and welfare of sheep and lambs. It prevents fecal matter from accumulating on the tail and hindquarters of the animal. Research has shown that tail docking greatly reduces fly strike  (wool maggots) while having no ill effect on lamb mortality or production.

An applicator is also used to castrate animals. The rubber ring is applied around the neck of the scrotum. Testicles drop off in 10 days or so. Please only do so with the advice of a professional.

The applicator works as a band setting tools, to put rubber to the desired location. Medical Tools applicators are manufactured under strict  quality control and exercise their functions effectively
